Typing this from Immersed. I've been using it since March 2020 for work, and have not looked back since. Three key things why working in VR is better: you're out of your environment, you're more focused, and you have multiple virtual monitors.

@@CasandChary I would love to try it but my internet is so slow that it took about 10 minutes to install 10 mb only, I'll get it fix, at least I hope I will.

[@Immigrantlovesamerica]

Right? I dont even need to seem y keyboard on my vr either.

[@redman2751]

Stuff like this makes me really really really consider getting into VR right now. I’ve held out for a long time since I just didn’t think VR was worth my money but the quest 2 really checks a lot of boxes for me and I’m really starting to consider getting one.

[@soapbox298]

The fact that I can use It in pair with my PC and my laptop when I travel to play PCVR tittles warranted the purchase in my opinion, alongside it being a totally standalone unit.

[@cowboy8038]

I can see this being handing while traveling. At home I three monitors all the time. Its hard when I'm at a hotel needing to work off just a laptop. Now I could just lay on the bed with the laptop and still have my normal 3 screens.

woooow, does that mean that somehow your monitors settings are maintained even if your lap is no longer connected to them?

[@davidkeane1820]

great video - this is what people need to really work in VR - thanks for making

[@pitbrand]

I was watching this video as I fell asleep last night and suddenly I started to dream that I was in my living room and then you walked in and stumbled down on the floor. I came over to check on you and ask if you needed some water and were you alright and you said you were fine and then we started cuddling there for a moment. Soon after I woke up and had to cut off the computer to get my sleep, and I'm giving my dream VR a rating of 9.8. Cheers!!

[@farfromhomeandlost]

That's pretty exciting to see and I'll looking forward to trying it. And can also see this video seeming so quaint and old timey in a few years given the place everything is improving. Thanks for showing us this!

Oculus needs to work on their accessibility features. I’m missing 2 fingers on my right hand. Without some kind of remapping and training feature for hand tracking the hand tracking feature is almost useless to me

[@abdullahabohana9068]

Waltz of the wizard has a feature for people with missing fingers, :)

[@willmosse3684]

Oh, yes, they should do that. To be honest though it is still very much a beta test level function. It is not really very usible even with the standard finger set at the current time. Hopefully as it improves and comes to be more of an actual functional system they will do what they need to with regard to accessibility.

[@thejonofalltrades]

Honestly they have the most robust accessibility features on any VR headset ever, and even compared to most tech in general there are a lot of accessibility options. You have a pretty specific issue that really makes it pointlessly difficult for them to work around. Hand tracking isn’t good enough for you to have a reason to care anyway.

[@N3CR0LICH]

Been using this since it’s alpha. At that point it was the only vr remote app that was used Mac. They’ve come along way in the development. I was disappointed though when they announced the paid versions were subscription based instead buying it once. But there’s a work around. Just buy headless monitor connections for any additional video connections on your graphics card. They show up on immersed as monitors. You got the additional monitors without the need of paying a subscription.

[@ginatails]

[@ripvanstinkle]

Very nice review

[@Shiffo]

This really seems amazing, i remember the huge increase in productivity once i got my second screen. And just how easy it felt when swiping through screens the first time on our quest and the possibilities could be. I actually hope that they kill physical keyboards really fast since FB is working on that as well and even working on creating neural interfaces. The future is exciting, the future is now.

[@ludimoru]

i love love LOVE your channel ♡ ♡

[@MW_1535]

I did this for about 4 hours over 2 days in the Quest 2 last week. My biggest issues are comfort and the keyboard layout. Having a virtual keyboard helps A LOT, but I use a lot of special keys and they are just in the wrong location. Hopefully we'll get more standard layouts soon. The other issue is comfort. The device is just a bit too heavy (I have the elite strap with a counter weight) for long sessions imo. That being said, I feel like I was actually able to focus more easily because all exterior distractions were gone. I'll be trying it out more today and in the future to see if I can adjust. Thanks for the video!

[@royc.v376]

Hi Cas!!!!!!! do you have the Elite version of Immersed? or why do you have so many vr screens?

[@MrRichieface]

This is pretty cool, they definitely need to add several keyboard types though, also surely they could add a mouse...calibrate the same way and then as long as u don’t pick up ur mouse it’ll just track it where u move it. Once they have that Remote Desktop thing would be interesting to try it with a shadow pc, if u can pair wireless mouse n keyboards to the quest that would be great, if you only have an option of a track pad that would suck I gotta say

[@ybendek]

wow...a really interesting way to sync the keyboard distribution and size...really nice :)

[@henrih3080]

Does Immersed only work with the Oculus VR Headsets? Or does it work also with with VR headsets from other brands is there a software similiar out there to Immersed that is also working with a HP Reverb G2 Headset?

[@TLOH7]

I'm starting to suspect that my brain will get to work like it has never done before. I swear I'll feel like a kid in Willy Wonka chocolate factory.

[@foxriver9156]

There is an open source project called “ReVive” that allows you to use your Oculus store applications on the Valve Index and HTC Vive. Works really well I use it frequently, and it’s updated regularly.

[@VrsverigeSe]

That's for Rift/Oculus PC content. This app is Quest (and Go!) only.

[@gambyt5952]

Okay this might seem like a silly question but I'm yet to buy a quest or any VR headset. How do you add these addition screens? Ii work from home and seriously need a home office update. This approach seems really amazing to me to keep overhead costs low. I know a few people with quest 2 and have not set this up yet.

[@RyanRSteiner]

Great video, and OMG! I actually already own that specific Logitech wireless keyboard shown towards the end. Hopefully that is the specific one infinite office is being developed for.

[@petriandy]

What is the head strap set you have on your quest 2? Looks awesome & thanks for the videos!

[@cathcort1]

Thanks for all of your great tutorials and reviews. It is easy to set up and use. I don't love it however, because I still don't feel the true connection to the keyboard and find myself peaking to get proper hand placement. Also, even with the elite strap and battery pack installed (and some added weight), the quest 2 is not comfortable enough for me to work in it for hours. I could see AR being a better solution but will have to wait for that.

[@user-xv4tf8qt7d]

[@buikhan]

Can you use this in games? Is this only available for the quest 2? I have Rift S.

[@dillacorn_linux]

I want Virtual Desktop to implement this... Also to include 60% layouts and other non-standard layouts like 75% or Or even ortho would be cool. Maybe even split keyboards? Need to respect the custom keyboard community. Another solution is maybe to allow the user to take a snapshot of the keyboard and crop the image. Align keys and functions to each key easily based on keycap outline via software and allow the user to use their own custom keyboard from there.

[@ronchu4453]

LOVE your videos! So this App that is kinda like "Virtual Desktop" as well? Its casting your PC onto the headset?

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

I really want a version of this but with my phone. It'd be so incredibly useful to be able to check my phone in-headset.

This took me quite a lot of effort to setup. Didn't really like my 4k monitor at all, and kept accidentally moving windows around like crazy. Was close to thinking I am old and want to complain. Got it working though, and love the keyboard integration now.

[@jbalatutube]

is there any chance that the pricing model could be adjusted for regular home users who might be willing to pay a one off fee. Understand it is aimed at businesses at the moment but using the free version with only one monitor isn't worth using for me.

[@nsynck132]

ill have question. if i using the oculus quest 2 typing i need blutooth keyboard? As far as I know, only Logitech K380 is supported as a keyboard that can be linked with Oculus Quest 2? 7:34 I'm thinking of buying an Oculus Quest 2 to study programming. However, the price of the Logitech K380 keyboard is expensive, so I do not want to buy the Logitech K380 keyboard if it can be linked with a general keyboard. give me a reply please^^

What is the headset you are using at @5:40? I am guessing Oculus Q2. Are the headphones an additional buy? How do they sound?

[@mastrkool]

You have such a calm voice

[@bobd4605]

I have a Quest 2 and use it for online flight sims like DCS and X-plane. They both use remote keypads like a joystick and throttle (HOTAS) they are also fully dependent on the use of a keyboard. Unfortunately I spend more time peeking through my nose view trying to type when I should be flying. I can easily type 40 wpm but have the same issues that you have which is being able to remember specialty keys. Will this Immersed VR app allow me to do that? Thanks so much and keep up the great work.

[@Flandernify]

[@bearymos4805]

This is very useful!! Can't wait to get my VR headset so I can do this and use 5 monitors while doing school work. It's cool they added a keyboard overlay as well, I have a blank keyboard so it doesn't matter to me but still really nice if say, my mom, dad, or sister want to work in VR! this is gonna be so cool!!!! I just hate that you have to pay a subscription of a crazy 15 dollars a month for the 5 monitors, they should just make it a one time purchase

[@manp1039]

Hi Cas.. I have the Quest 2. I gave Immersed a try based on your recommendation.. But i have been having so much trouble with getting to work and sorting out calibrating the physical keyboard with the virtual overlay. the keys it wanted me to press didn't get pressed correctly. and then i couldnt sort out restarted or redoing a calibration. Also, I have had the virtual desktop screen would freeze up with no warning and not clear what casued it to happen and to restore it .. so i just gave up trying to use it when in middle of something like a zoom meeting. I was hoping to used it for things like that too and also trying using the virtual webcam in Immersed for my zoom meeting.

[@propelproject]

I'd like this kind of overlay for games as well. Some games work with keyboards. For just touch typing I can get by OK most of the time without peeking, it's with game controls that I have to look. ;)

[@sungwon1028]

VR is definitely the future.
