I have the Quest Pro. It's okaish to work, but I for sure still prefer physical screens. The resolution is not good enough yet and there is a little bit of eye strain, especially with bright backgrounds. I would suggest for you to wait one to two weeks and then start your research again. There is a new generation of VR/AR headsets coming up that use micro oled. These have 4x the resolution of today's headsets and I think should also be easier on the eyes. Rumors: Apple Vision Pro releasing very soon: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bravevanda_exclusive-big-news-vision-pro-is-shipping-activity-7148132204177469440-seSb https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bravevanda_exclusive-big-news... Immersed Visor: https://www.visor.com/shop https://www.visor.com/shop There might be more devices revealed during the CES next week: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/qualcomms-newest-vrar-chip-powers-samsung-and-googles-next-headset/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/qualcomms-newest-vrar-ch... XReal etc are said to have a FOV that is not big enough to be comfortable. I'm pretty confident that the new gen devices will finally be it.

How is the experience with a keyboard? Not being a touch typist i need a good view at my keyboard too. From what i have been able to gather it seems the XReal Air 2 Pro is able to give you 3 screens for a really good experience.

  The quest headsets are able to track certain supported keyboards. I have tried it and it works very precisely, no touch typing skills needed. Most apps also let you work in AR mode, where you can see the keyboard through the cameras. However, the cameras are still grainy. The next gen headsets will have this solved. I have not tried the XReals etc because of the small FOV. I do not like turning my head a lot while working. On physical displays, one also usually only looks around with their eyes instead of turning the head. However I think the lightness and portability of the XReals has no competition as of today.
