question for VR people: is the tech at a place yet where a headset could be a monitor replacement for productivity work? i mean my laptop screen is 13" -- could i instead be coding on a virtual 100" screen, still using my regular OS, keyboard and trackpad?
- wlesieutre 6y agoCarmack talks about this a bit, the Quest 1 had enough pixel density that a big screen in VR (such as the Netflix app) could give you about 720 of useful resolution. With the new screens, it's more like 1080p. But if you're doing multiple smaller screens rather than a big movie theater, they'll be less than that. They're launching an official project for this, called Infinite Office. You see the world in black and white through the tracking cameras, but you have colorful VR screens around you.
- Macha 6y agoI would say no. The resolution is not high enough for typical monitor sized text at typical monitor distances. If you wanted a virtual 100" screen but with only as much on it as you put on a 24/27" screen today, maybe, but I'm not sure what the benefit to that is.
- numpad0 6y agoFOV is way too narrow for that.
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoAnyone know if this is likely to change? I was playing super hot VR last night, and thought to myself, “this game wouldn’t be so hard if I didn’t feel like I was looking through a toilet paper roll”.
- numpad0 6y agoPimax 5K/8K? Those have 200 degrees FOV.
- zmmmmm 6y agoNearly. Some people do, but I get too much eye strain. Having said that, Oculus2 might be enough of a step up.
