I daily drove my quest 2 using immersed VR for a few months. In the end, the resolution was just not good enough for it to be better than my 3 monitor setup. But I'm looking forward to trying again in a couple of generations.

Big same. I want immersed to work so bad. But the resolution/dpi is garbage compared to even a shitty monitor. It also makes me nauseous but I'd be willing to deal with that if the experience was what I want it to be.

So you were using a Quest 2 for month before you decided the resolution is generations away from beeing good enough? :)

  Yes, I knew I would need to live with some annoyances if I wanted to be an early adopter on this. I tried to adapt but in the end it was just too much of an inconvenience. And while my quest 2 is indeed currently collecting dust, I don't think headsets are a bad idea. Just that their current implementations are not good enough for my use case. Regardless of that, I'm optimistic about the future of using an HMD as your main general computing device's display. I'm willing to bet it will be a pretty common setup in 5 years or so.

    Many here want/wanted the same thing. It has always puzzled me why. I like to use a piece of paper next to the computer and i also like the look and feel of a nice wooden desk and the sound of a pair of decend speakers. No matter how great the headset, i fail to see it as an improvement except for some very specific usecases.

      Honestly, the answer might just be: "Because it's freaking cool!" and I totally understand why that doesn't appeal to you.

The resolution was probably OK, you wanted lower FOV or higher pixels per degree (PPD). There are monitor replacement AR glasses with the same resolution or lower, but acceptable PPD due to their low FOV.

Looking forward to testing the Vision Pro for this usecase. Resolution looks high enough to possibly be The One, and if it replaces my monitors then the price might be worth it.

Immersed are bringing out their own headset next year with 4k per eye for this use case for far less money than the apple vision. https://www.visor.com/ https://www.visor.com/
