WORKROOMS FOR QUEST 2 IS AMAZING - Work & Collaborate In VR with Horizon Workrooms!

[@mixedrealityTV]

What do you think about Workrooms? Will you use it?

[@davidbetancourt4028]

I'm going to be asking if other people in the office have an Oculus Quest 2. I have one and love the wireless mode. I use it to stream crap from my more powerful desktop. This is so fascinating.

[@davidbetancourt4028]

I'm now annoying several people I work with to see if they have a Quest 2 :D

[@brendonknight]

I really can't wait for mass adoption. I need this right now, it would make working from home so much easier.

[@davidbetancourt4028]

Oh, also, forgot to mention, nice job on the thumbnail, ha. No sarcasm. It's why I clicked.

[@CanalDojogames]

Its an good option to teach chinese ;D

Someone needs to create an Online university App for the Quest and VR. This could be the Killer App. Want to learn Networking? Class is at 10. Sewing? Cosplay costume making? It could be a huge educational tool. Forgot college tuition. You could lower cost by a factor of 10 I'm sure. Education available to everyone (who can afford a headset).

[@DavidGutierrez-fv2qf]

And that's why it won't happen soon. The universities love their higher tuition fees 😒

The digital office is one of the first things I imagined already years ago to define the future of office work, especially when headsets will start to arrive in a more comfortable formfactor with higher res and fov. The corona situation will certainly give this an extra push and those better headsets will arrive within the next years. With this software the concept is totally here now.

[@DMan-ud6bt]

It's good, but it's from the wrong company, which is both sad and concerning.

[@RoarMcRipHelmet]

I wonder if this will work with Facebook Workplace, or if employees have to use their private Facebook accounts?

[@Sampler19]

The marker function looks really nifty!

[@mikeltod]

but can you slap folks in the meeting?

[@tasmania9576]

Great but i see that the world is not ready for this now! I hope so much that the industry realize the potencial soon. Great work sebastian dont give up the VR people will fight for that!

[@EliteTreats]

are you able to use the desk pass through and take notes in an actual physical notebook with pen and paper while wearing the VR headset and not take it off? please reply lol

[@Angelamd77]

Wish there was a way to listen to music In Horizon workroom without having to share your screen.

[@bibleandblues6634]

I use Immersed regularly because of the ability to spawn multiple monitors. Would I be able to do that on workroom? Or do they have plans for that?

[@samuelyuri645]

Its a start. I'm looking forward to see how this will improve in the next years.

[@56WagonWheel]

I can see a group of people sitting in a work room with VR headsets on working in a VR workroom. A bit like seeing people sitting at the same table using their mobiles to talk to each other via social media apps

[@gnktspnk1334]

Hey, man, which app do you use for streaming?

[@liowik]

Wished you had also demoed changing the monitor size to see how clear it is to work etc

[@lukeeddy4628]

YES!!! This is one of the biggest things I’ve been waiting for!!! I can’t wait to try and get my colleagues into this.

[@Stoicism_mastery]

Well now I can do this for debate Club 😂

[@millennialdiamond6842]

Can I use my laptop 💻 with the VR headset?

[@AricWilisch]

I would love to, but I expect they will make the same mistakes and limit it to Occulus only. If they really wanted people to use it the would make sure it works with all platforms.

[@aornelas]

good point -- which is why you can join from any computer and be presented as a screen in the room 😉

[@medhue]

Might be brilliant but they made it to only work on 1 headset they made. It's idiotic.

[@ralffritz6556]

Is it possible to use mulitple screens?

[@talktodayusa]

I don't see any collaborating going on.

[@fivemandown]

Dual Monitor Support?

[@CaryMGVR]

*Yeah, I like it a lot, but it's gotta be wayyyy easier to set up ....* *Just download & use is how it should be.* *Then to invite people, just send them an URL,* *like for example: "**workrooms.com/1234567**"* *Maybe they'll fix that soon -- after all, it's still a Beta.* *But as it stands right now, I like it, and will continue to use it.* 🙂👍🏻

[@chillyfinger]

i would say adoption will follow the same path as business computers in the first place, say in the 1980's. Enthusiasts always underestimate inertia and pushback. Meta will be coming out with a better headset in the $1,000 price range that will actually work with this app (main problem is comfort and resolution). That's not too much for a real business "use case" but i think we are talking about a very tiny takeup and a long long growth path

[@scottbaileyActivstudios]

Does it work with apple computers?

[@jaimeortiguela3650]

Yes, it will recognize MacBooks

[@BS-we7xp]

Great video! Workrooms is great app. I would gladly work and take all meetings this way. The problem is still the hardware. We need smaller, lighter, and higher resolution headsets. Until we solve this issue VR will not take off as much as it should. If the rumors of an Apple headset are true we may see some progress. Regardless of peoples feelings on Apple products they make amazing hardware. If anyone can pull it off my money is on them.

[@generichuman_]

Really dissapointed that horizons (workrooms and worlds) don't allow you to import your own assets. Hopefully they change this.

[@davidzhao6270]

I tried working on this today, but quit after 5 mins. The lag between my wookroom computer and my computer is significant. maybe good for presentation

[@CanalDojogames]

Hey MRTV whats up with oculus quest 2 (renewed) version? Its more expensive so is there anything new about it?

[@Pirafier]

[@sarahyudha595]

Saya menantinya asal ada harga diskon untuk alatnya 😄 Indonesia apa kah bisa?

[@Gedagnors]

Thank you for the video! You make great job showing things that a lot of people don't have and you really show that future is already here. Funny how most of the people on this planet live in 14-th century and some lucky ones live in 21-st century, a real cyberpunk future that only several years seemed to be just a sci-fi dream. But when I see office in 3D, I can't stop thinking that people like to be slaves of corporations. Everything looks cool in 3D. Even soul-crushing career simulator. I worked in the office and there are a lot of good things, but I would NEVER go there again. Don't have any nostalgia about office furniture or environment.

[@psl9265]

Hi! Tolles Video. Ich bekomme es einfach nicht hin, dass mein Desktop erscheint. Oculus Remote ist installiert und auch verbunden (glaube ich jedenfalls) (öffne Workroom in deinem Headset). Dort erscheint aber nichts. Vielleicht hast du einen Tipp?

[@BaxornVR]

So that is what happened to pass-through...

[@abigailwilliams8998]

I prefer VRChat if it have those features.

[@armyofGod-g9v]

I tried. Nobody using a desktop P.C. can get remote desktop to work. What is the point if you cannot see your computer screen? Imagine all those techs doing all that work for nothing!!

[@mixedrealityTV]

Yeah it works totally fine.

[@agagoua]

i literally just bought oculus 2, and i look forward to create a virtual space. Is there a specific app that i need to download in order to create my office ?

Horizon workrooms

[@timelson6659]

Anyone else get Oculus Remote Desktop to work with an Nvidia card?

[@mbustin548]

No! One of many problems with this software. No multiple screens, can’t use remote PC, must use keyboard attached to PC, not to the headset, way behind vSpatial & Immersed. Hoping they improve it soon.

[@renarddesneiges]

What about sound? How is the sound when you share the screen on the board? Can you for example, watch other people play video games live with great sound quality? Stereo or 5.1 for example?

[@lamsmiley1944]

I watched another video on this yesterday and they were having an issue where when they shared their screen they only got around 3fps, so it may not work for sharing videos or games

[@ChristopherJGould]

A business meeting where everyone looks like puppets from a kid's T.V. show? I think I will stick with Skype and screenshare - at least there will be no temptation to sing a muppet song during a break. :-) I'll thumb up the video - but pass on the tech!

[@amoneoudini1044]

right, because the hard part of this tech is changing the avatars.... The Science to make a non muppet avatar is just no there yet :-(

No, the fps is too low. Also there is no sound. This is just for presentations. For movies, check out Bigscreen.

Metahero can provide that. Only speculation but looks like something is happening with them and facebook

[@gear323]

I'm a Facebook hater but I try atleast to be fair and balanced with my opinions. So with that said, this is really awesome. You need to test one of the tracked keyboards for sure. This is the future of working from home or working remotely with people in other offices. Amazing stuff. Does this work on quest 1? I do still have one of those and interested to try this.

[@nekumidoriyavr1998]

Friends mostly...

[@inceptional]

Maybe it's just me but I just cannot enjoy the lower field of view and pretty terrible sweet spot and low contrast on Quest 2. And, along with the constant weight and discomfort of wearing the thing, even with literally the strap you have in this video, it's just not a great experience imo. I'm at the point where I kinda regret even buying it and rather than just sticking with my Rift CV1 alone, which, all things taken into account, just offers a better and more comfortable experience overall and that I really never had an issue with but simply wanted the next evolution of VR after having it for a few year--the Quest 2 is not that imo. A bit more resolution and some framerate jump that is basically imperceptable to me isn't enough to make the Quest 2 a great overall experience. It's just not a particularly enjoyable experience. I think I might need to wait for the next generation or so of standalone before it meets my minimum standards for display quality and comfort and the like.

[@IsaacLightning]

120hz is certainly not imperceptible to most people

[@inceptional]

@@IsaacLightning I literally notice zero difference between running my Quest 2 in 120Hz vs 72Hz. And maybe that has something to do with how Oculus is doing this, maybe it's not truly 120Hz but just projection or something, but I don't notice it.

[@IsaacLightning]

@@inceptional It's true 120, you must not be getting enough frames maybe? Because that's a huge jump and its impossible to miss imo. At least for me. But yeah they basically revealed that the hardware was good for 120hz the whole time, and it was enabled as a "new feature" cause I guess they figured they had made enough software optimizations by that point for it to be viable. But it's definitely real, I can assure you.

[@inceptional]

Wait, how in the hell does it know you're holding the controller like a pen? That's actually pretty dang cool. When they get high quality, full colour, stereoscopic passthrough, the feature of seeing your keyboard and stuff is going to be very nice indeed--sometime in the future on Quest [insert number].

[@gear323]

Looks like by the way the controller is tilted in a way your hand could not normally bend if holding the controller the "normal" way.

[@inceptional]

@@gear323 Yeah, it's probably doing a bit of hand tracking too.

[@ishaqsloan5004]

Simple gyroscope sensor in the controller.

[@BlamingBuddha]

Lmao *that's* what astonished you about this? Its a simple gyroscope sensor and they've been in our phones and gps's to track orientation (up, down, left, right) for decades now.

[@inceptional]

@@BlamingBuddha True, but it seems a bit more advanced than that because it presumably doesn't start writing until you actually touch the virtual board and stuff (which I guess is just it checking collision). Regardless, it's more the novelty and creativity of the idea than the tech behind it. I mean, not many people would have thought to allow you to hold the Touch controllers the wrong way around and use them to write on a virtual board with actual pen-like motions. And, by the way, this will surely be even better with the new controllers for Cambria since they won't have the rings to get in the way. :D PS. The Wii with its Wiimotes came out before the first iPhone and allowed basically this exact kind of interaction, so I'd kinda give Nintendo the credit for creating a device you can hold somewhat like a pen and use gyroscope/accelerometer motion controls to do simple interactions like air-writing.
