I think that in 1-2 generations of VR headsets, we will no longer need monitors. For now my HTC vive isn't comparable to my 4k screens.

- georgewsinger 7y agoAgreed that VR isn't comparable to 4K screens (yet), but for what it's worth I regularly put in 1hr+ long SimulaVR sessions with the good ol' 2016 HTC Vive. Here are a couple of links showing off Simula's text quality: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/blob/gdwlroots-xwayland/doc/TextQuality.gif https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/blob/gdwlroots-xwayland/d... https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/blob/gdwlroots-xwayland/doc/TextQuality2.gif https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/blob/gdwlroots-xwayland/d... Many early VR Desktops (and VR games) didn't go to special effort to optimize text quality, and I think this has given people a lower than warranted impression of what is possible in VR today (even on old headsets).
- _emacsomancer_ 7y agoI think VR desktops look really cool, but I'm not sure I'd want to have to wear a VR headset every time I used my computer. Monitors will surely stick around in parallel.
