Shoutout to @c6jones720 for the inspiration! For a simpler solution you might like as well, check out Fluid in the store. You can also install by searching the store for the exact name with App Lab if you don't care about the extra stuff in SideQuest. To me, SideQuest makes app discovery so much easier that it didn't even occur to me to do this any other way. Reality Browser and Fluid compared kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5y4Z5R9hZuCjM0 Also, I filmed this a few days ago and it looks like I was on to something.. mixed-news.com/en/meta-quest-better-window-management-in-the-works/?amp=1

The good thing about apple entering the market is that we all expect meta to speed things up in terms of features and innovation in the ecosystem

Fluid is better and it's free at the moment. Reality browser not only doesn't have memory but you have to move to put it places. It also makes some sites think it's an android phone.

@ricardohnn 10 ай бұрын

Yeah was going to say the same... No need for sideload here... But the issue is that this is only browser... It needs native apps... But i don't think quest can do it

Meta needs to do this fixed multi window feature anywhere in the house with a perammiter overlay override so you can fit the multi-window anywhere in your own space, plus Meta needs a better UI design features.

@vincentculleydavison2763 10 ай бұрын

I tried it and unfortunately you can't use bluetooth keyboard and you need two controlers to do everything (especially you can't resize the windows with only one controller like you can with the regular browser) so it's not very useful and optimised (also no settings and options at all).

What's the purpose of Sidequest when the app can be found on Meta's store? I think I'm not understanding something here.

@shanecraigtech 10 ай бұрын

This app is under the App Labs banner, which means it's not fully tested. While not the only method for installation, installing SideQuest not only lets you install those apps nice and easy, it gives you lots of other possibilities too.

@@apennisinot sure if my opinion will help at all but I've used Meta Horizon Workrooms and Virtual Desktop and the picture quality is amazing. Using Workrooms, the computer display might be a lower resolution, but you'll have the ability to have up to 3 monitors at once - even if you your PC isn't connected to 3 monitors. With VD, you only have a single monitor at once but it is extremely crisp. Workrooms is free but VD is easier to set up and surprisingly has more support.

@MiguelPais 10 ай бұрын

Yes. For desktop work I am using the app "immersed". The free version lets you have 3 windows connected to the PC (up to 5 in the paid version), move them around feely, resize and control the curvature. You can work in passthrough, or in VR spaces like a cafe or a space station, alone or in co-working areas with random people. The PC recognizes them as screens and you can setup their locations so that dragging stuff around stays intuitive, just like real screens. You can also set their resolutions and aspect ratios individually.

What happens if you dont have a link cable? Can you do it with the air link thing? I don't know if the charger is the same cable or not since I just bought my quest 3 online and have to wait to pick it up but if not the same, I did see the cables run for like 80 dollars which is kinda crazy imo lol.

The massive improvement won't come until they start to normalize and improve desktop features. With a *_real_* emphasis on productivity features. Regardless of what's trending. The experience will get better for everyone. Not just a subset of gamers that want to lay down and watch Netflix.

Although it's cool I have to ask the question is why do we need this. I know vr will improve over time but I just don't know why we want that many apps open all over the place. I do think meta and others will start adding more features now apply had a vr headset and the same with apple adding more to their own I personally just don't see what vr is adding to how I use my pc now apart from me moving around more. I do think its cool for something like meetings and demos as well as viewing virtually environments but out side of this I don't see how it replaces my pc and workspace.

@shanecraigtech 10 ай бұрын

I tend not to worry about why "we" need anything and focus on what I need. In terms of work, it's not something I'll ever use, at least not in its current state. I can see watching content and having another window or two strategically positioned being really useful though. Watching multiple sports streams with scores, etc.

Did you notice any performance hits after having that many windows open while recording ? I would hope not being that it can run games natively!

As said in my pinned comment, SideQuest makes app discovery so much easier that it didn't even occur to me to do this any other way. Doing it like I show is better in the long run because of that, even if it's harder in the short term. Just my opinion!
