I Used Virtual Monitors For a Week!

[@Leathal]

Tip for future airplane usage: turn off 6dof tracking in settings to avoid the “stuff slides away” issue. Not sure if this breaks Workrooms, but it works great in Immersed and media apps

[@jlmaka]

THIS! It's a feature, not a bug. I'm glad to hear you can turn off the accelerometers for these headsets.

[@theo1231231]

He probably should have researched the headset a bit more before making the video - it was still entertaining though

[@IcxnicCloud]

Can you use virtual monitors on the quest 2, quest 3

[@Keyakina]

@@IcxnicCloud yes

[@IcxnicCloud]

[@vdchnsk]

It's such a joy to observe how significantly the quality of filming was improved! Great job, Kalle!

[@SmugSpirit]

Best of luck Valerii hope everythings going well for you!

[@keith-is-mad]

I don't have the quest pro, but after working with virtual monitors on Quest 2 I have to say - the connectivity issue is most likely your laptop's wifi limitation and not the headset. Try a dedicated wifi6 router (one that won't thermo-throttle on the constant load). It kinda defeats the portability theme a bit, but that was the only way that worked for me.

[@HopperNation]

Yes it has been demonstrated that most laptop wireless connectivity struggles with things like this, I agree that a wifi 6e antenna would fix or mostly mitigate the issue

[@dbhrgdb3638]

It's not connectivity, it's a GPS tracking issue. I'll tell you, if you have a 5G connection there is no problem and things are @ 2K/4k with my PC. But GPS Tracking kills the experience.

[@vrstary]

Hopefully soon they will make a newer VR air bridge for the quest pro. Sadly the current one only works with the quest 2 as of yet.

[@426wookie]

sometimes it helps to put a little fan if your wifi router is weak and it'll throttle a lot less

[@sunshinevendetta]

Agree on this, also using a cable connection improves everything a lot

[@1eddy967]

I actually came back to your channel the other day because I noticed that you hadn't posted any video in quite some time. It's cool to see you back, with a hugely different level of production! The screen "holographic" effect was really cool! Also, as a fellow dev, I've also thought of this exact feature and hoped it would be better. It's nice to see another video in my feed, keep the videos coming!

[@Thomas.Saunders]

This is the first of your videos that I've watched so far. Probably the most complete 'real world' review of VR headset I've seen to date. I'm fascinated by VR/AR technology and I enjoy following the evolution of the space. Personally, I have vision problems which limit what I could get out of the experience, but I enjoy watching the continuing progress. Thanks for a thoughtful and entertaining video.

[@ChadLawson3]

I didn’t catch on to the Barney Stinson “Playbook” theme until the “Couch Surfer” and then I giggled like crazy. Thank you for this video!

[@kirbyclem4]

I'm on month 2 working solely from my Quest Pro. Honestly, it has been amazing, to say the least. Immersed is awesome! However, I play games on Virtual Desktop. I even go as far as to leave my laptop at home, on and connected to the internet, and bring only my headset, Bluetooth mouse & keyboard, to the office. Works extremely well.

[@Alternatywny_1]

Do you have any issues with using like author of this video? I'm asking because I want save some money and buy Quest 1/2 to improve my coding and unreal engine experience 😄

[@kirbyclem4]

@@Alternatywny_1 ​Having owned both I would highly suggest the Pro, I have not had any connectivity issues as mentioned in the video. 1st - the quality of image is much better on the Pro, allowing me to work exclusively from the headset for long periods of time, especially with having to read small text without having to zoom in. 2nd - The connection to my remote computer seems to be much stronger on the Pro, even when connecting via hotspot while away from my computer. My setup in office is my 17-inch laptop with the headset using the Immersed app ( with wifi direct turned on allowing me to remote directly to my computer for better connection). When traveling or away from the office I use the VSpatial app to remote access my laptop while using a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard. I almost always use both Immersed & VSpatial in pass-through mode so I can be aware/ interact with my surroundings. I purchased the headset when it was $1,499 & still think it has been an awesome investment.

[@richgodusen2303]

Wow! This one was in the end worth the wait. I kept checking your channel for uploads from time to time. The VR headset Meta Quest Pro is mindblowing. Great content! I never even knew a workspace could be this portable.

[@immeatom]

I’m so glad to have caught this video early. I think fair points were made. Keep in mind this headset will improve with each update. The Quest 2 is simply not the same headset it was when it was first released. Each update has brought new features, added stability, and even UI updates. We can expect the same for the Meta quest pro. I’d be interested in seeing a long term review after 6 months.

[@bawbsmith]

There’ll be improvements to software, but I don’t think the 6 month review will be much better. The hardware is simply not good enough. Screen resolution is not enough for a monitor replacement, the cameras are not good enough for AR, and while this use case doesn’t really require it, the battery life is too low. They can compensate some of this through optimization, but I think the Quest Pro just isn’t there yet. Maybe the quest Pro 2.

[@Leathal]

Boz is on record saying he wasn’t sure if they had enough spare CPU cycles to globally enable local dimming support - a literal keynote feature. The Pro is six pounds of sht in a five pound bag so don’t expect a Quest 2 style “glow up”

[@dooks123]

So I want to thank you for watching this video! This is by far the video I’ve put the most amount of effort and money into ever! This was a really big project and took me a long time to complete. This is how I will approach all videos on this channel going forward. My focus will be to make the best videos I could possibly make, and this one is the start. I genuinely hope you enjoyed this video! Also this video is not sponsored by meta or anyone. Do not buy this device! At least that’s my advice

[@pondracek]

Latency and refresh is a solved issue (see VirtualDesktop). I do wish that Workrooms or Immersed whatever app is on the quest pro would treat your focussed screen like VirtualDesktop and keep the others bandwidth-limited, allowing you to configure options for changing focus by looking (head tracking or eye tracking now) or mouse pointer. I also actually think the nReal Air might be better for this purpose long term. I've had a good time with the nebula landing page and Samsung Dex, I just wish I could do 3 Dex screens side by side inside nebula and then I'd be onboard.

Great video. This is the application of VR/AR that I'm most excited about. I think it would be nice to have a portable setup that didn't involve bending my neck to look down at a laptop screen. I was wondering why you didn't try Nreal glasses for this test, as those would probably be workable while moving, and are sharper, which is better for simulating monitors.

[@AlanRebane]

Thanks, Kalle for a great and unbiased video! I enjoyed every minute of it. ❤ For me it’s also important to work with multiple monitors while on the go. One great remote work setup is the one by nomad setups 😁

[@francoendrigo]

what you could do in unstable environments is to stop tracking, then it should (hypothetically) not change the view. I guess you can do that by getting the developer mode on.

[@TechWithBabak]

Interesting insight that the turning of the train car messes with the motion sensors in the VR headset!

[@pxl-tech]

I really like the HIMYM playbook sections xD Awesome video btw :)!

[@Jmdee]

I am using Immersed + Quest 2 rn to watch & write this (been working "goggled in" for a while now). I do 3d sculpting, modeling etc as well as general browser based work. Tips: 1. if latency is an issue just use a usb cable. It's not too much of a hassle and I am getting 1ms response...it's truly unnoticeable. It also keeps your headset charged! 2. As others have said, turn off headset tracking in settings > system > headset tracking to avoid the screens moving while on the tram/plane.

[@josebriceno4983]

For the connectivity issue, try using a thunderbolt cable to connect the headset and Mac. Also I’ve noticed that sharing internet from your Mac and using that networking on the oculus improves latency. Hope that helps!

[@manaceschavez7165]

It looks like he's using a Hackintosh, it didn't look like a true Mac. This could also be an issue

[@tehvvisard]

I myself have been running a VR desktop for 2 years now and could not be happier. Using XrDesktop on Pop!_OS you get a better granular control over the windows inside VR. Been using this environment to code, game and watch movies. The only problem is that it scrapes the window on the screen so you need a good resolution for it to be clear text. Great video showcasing the possible future of home office

great video. love the honesty. AI is so much to play around with, but not practical yet. I love the sound and music effects that you added to the video. i personally prefer the reviewing type of video where a person explores the idea instead of your normal vlog. anyway thanks for the video

[@QuantumVLOG]

When I've worked from home, I often use my Quest 2 and sit on my Sofa in my office and work from there rather than at my PC. The Virtual Desktop app is very useful for working, I've taken teams calls through the headset and then when its quiet, jump into a quick game. Having an external battery back solution, or being stationary and on charge is essential for getting a days worth of work in though, otherwise you're on for 3 hours max.

[@aakashjana6225]

First ! its a blast from the past for me to watch kalle's videos once again ! I wanted to mention that theres a hobby out there called FPV where you gotta where similar kinda goggles only that you control a drone which flies really fast and makes people super nauseous minus the huge noise and attraction the flying drone and a cyborg looking human being standing somewhere and flying it . But I must mention since someone like me did overcome those sort of motion sickness and fear from the lack of situational awareness I could totally look forward to use this instead of a physical monitor provided it supports a mouse , in which case its super cool .

[@andreaszetterstrom7418]

If one were really serious about say programming in a headset like this, I imagine it could work with a setup like this: * Locally running editor (maybe based on VS Code) * Locally connected mouse and keyboard (having the keyboard tracked and visible in VR would be a bonus) * Locally running web browser * Remote build server that runs any heavy compilation or processing.

[@diego271088]

This guy took a page from the playbook for that last part. Legendary

[@PewDizinho]

Being honest with you, I dont really know you or your channel and just hop in the cool new tech stuff video, and all the start part of the video I was like "Damn, Would be cool being able to affort that kinda of stuff", then after seeing you using Visual Studio Code I was able to identify what's you been working on, you're using flutter/dart to create mobile or web stuff, and I got kinda of hyped cuz is the same stuff I'v been learning for the past 2 years, so seeing someone that I thought as "economic stable" enough to have one of those googles that (I suppose) work in the same area that Im heading into its really exciting and inspirational y'know, for now im just a Brazilian boy looking after education to one day be able to get those cool thing without worrying that much, but who knows, maybe one day

[@diegosaal1]

Hi guys, I recently got the Meta Quest 3 and, using a good connection, this thing flies. Even with a laptop with an Iris XE graphics card and 16gb LPDDR5. So far, with 3 extra large screens using Immersed, it feels great. The passtrough has improved amazingly, and the pancake lenses combined with the 2 dedicated 2k screens (one for each eye) and the IPD adjustment makes it as comfortable as it could be. I'm using the free version (I believe I don't need the 4 USD subscription yet) and Internet in Argentina sucks regarding to speed and reliability. So I don't think I could leave my laptop home yet and just carry the headset and bluetooth keyboard/mouse. But you could, with the Immersed Pro subscription, having up to 5 4K screens floating arround and remote connection over internet. Still testing it in a coworking office to see how it "socially works". I guess I'll let you know... Greating from Argentina :)

[@sid.h]

I think it would be pretty easy to eliminate the unwanted turning while working in a vehicle, either by the developers or via third-party plugins. Since the headset already has a camera, you would simply need to determine one or more reference points in your environment either manually or automagically to determine wether the turning is initiated by the user or not.

[@Thezuule1]

The conflict between the sensors and the cameras trying to do that is what is causing the problem. I'm pretty sure you can just shut off the headset tracking in those situations and use it as a 3dof device. I've done that in the car with my Quest 2. If you leave the tracking on whenever the car turns and stuff it messes everything up.

[@sid.h]

@@Thezuule1 I see! I didn't know they were already using the cameras for orientation. In that case, there are definitely some quirks that need ironing out! To be fair, the developers might not have considered the use case of using the device in a moving vehicle.

Hey Calle. Thank you for all the effort you put into this project. Maybe you want to give the "work from vr" topic another try by using a app called immersed to connect your MQP to your Mac. The software has a great community that's always helpful about getting the best results from your setup. I use immersed with the MQ2 since nearly 1.5 years and I never want to go back to a traditional setup. True, there are some tradeoffs and I am surely kind of biased 'cause I'm loving new tech but you can absolutely squeeze some more usability out of the MQP with the right tools and techniques if you want to. Again, thank you very much for for all the great videos and content you deliver to us.
