Then you know how crazy expensive it is to have to mount one or more monitors above you, hanging from some kind of support.
And like I said, isolation while working is actually kind of a feature, when you're deep in productive work. Just think of all the people who wear noise-cancelling headphones in offices to tune out the distracting environment.
I don't want to use it for video calls or while multitasking, but for serious work I want to be isolated -- that's a feature not a bug. And passthru is a kind of nice in-between mode.
- adastra22 2y agoI don't actually because my laptop screen is sufficient :) I could see what you say being true if I was young, single, and lived alone. I have a wife and kids though and explicitly don't want to be isolated from that.
- crazygringo 2y agoI think we're talking about two different things. Sure you don't want to be isolated from your family while you're checking e-mails or watching a movie together. That goes without saying. But most people I know with a partner and kids lock themselves in an office anyways while they're doing serious work in order not to be constantly distracted. If they are lucky enough to have a dedicated office at home. And there's nothing dystopian about doing your work reclining with a VR headset, any more than it's dystopian for video editors work in a darkened room with no windows, or software engineers to work in open-plan offices with two or four monitors and noise-cancelling headphones.
- adastra22 2y agoWe're really not talking about separate things. I have a home office, but I keep the door open and have moments of interaction throughout the day.
- SAI_Peregrinus 2y agoI've got a dual-monitor desk mount that can tilt ±40°, allwoing for easy reclined use[1]. $156 MSRP, hardly "crazy expensive" compared to a $3500 Vision Pro, even counting the monitors and computer.
