Could Oculus 2 serve as an ok display for coding?
- quux 6y agoFrom some of the reviews I’ve seen it seems like it’s either there or really close. I think Tested, in their review said it was possible to have a usable virtual monitor with 1080 resolution, but the virtual monitor had to be large.
- nvarsj 6y agoIt's not really comfortable enough for very long sessions. You really need something as lightweight as a pair of glasses for productivity work, in my opinion. Maybe we'll get there eventually, depending on how mobile SOCs improve.
- ghostbrainalpha 6y agoI use it with a Quest, and the ImmersedVR application. I love it for learning, or working out a coding challenge. The benefit to "code inside a void" is immense for people who really struggle with ADHD. I've never felt the ability to zone in like I can in VR. But I have to blow the text size up quite large. And I don't do it for more than an hour, because the resolution isn't quite there for an all day reading experience. I have a lot of fun playing my 2D games in VR this way as well. Starcraft is crazy fun on a screen that feels like its the size of a movie theater.
- zmmmmm 6y agoOculus 1 is nearly there, so I have a feeling Oculus 2 could be great. Having said that, there are people who use Oculus 1 all day. There is an app called Immersed that let's you create giant virtual VR monitors and put them wherever you want, which is pretty wild - see: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/428916969861808130/755876438938353745/immersed-console-configuration.jpg?width=714&height=714 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/428916969861808130/... It's easy to imagine how useful this could be eg: when working with complex web apps where having 4 screens (IDE, terminal, browser, browser console) actually has great utility.
