I Used Virtual Monitors For a Week!

  • In this video I try the Augmented Reality functionality of the VR headset Meta Quest Pro. The idea is to see if virtual monitors is something that can replace your physical desktop monitors. How functional is it right now? Do I see a potential future for this technology? Or, is it really just a gimmick to sell you a new device?

    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

    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

    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
      @HopperNation Год назад +4

      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
      @dbhrgdb3638 Год назад

      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.

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 ​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.

    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
      @bawbsmith Год назад +1

      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.

    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.

    Hello Hallden, Happy New Year!
    I enjoyed your take on the subject. I have been a long time follower of VR/AR and even own the original Oculus from the kickstarter. I owned the Oculus CV-1 and HP Reverb and G2. I thought the Quest original wasn't good enough to justify getting. The Quest 2 was* amazing. And you touched on why the main purpose of getting a stand alone headset that really *was what made the Quest 2 great.
    That is it worked on Trains, buses and planes. Then an update or to me a huge down grade they put tracking software and nerfed it severely it's use on the go. I used to use it all the time while traveling. Then they forced a FB account and then moved to meta destroying all usefulness. The two I own both now collect dust and if the Quest Meta pro has the same issue, why would anyone want this product. It is a great portable office actually. But not with the monetized tracking making it useless on the go as you said, drifting to leaving your office at the last or orignal destination station.
    I will tell you it did work, it was awesome and it was very useful and fun actually. But now with the GPS tracking, it doesn't wiork and it didn't improve the user experience, it actually destroyed the user experience at the cost of the owner.
    The GPS tracking issue making it unuseable really is the main point of your presentation and I couldn't agree more with your experence and results.
    Great Vid, Great points and let's hope that someone is listening.

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.

    Nice review! I don't think I'd ever buy it, but that was interesting 😁
    Also, I thought that the biggest issue would be image resolution and problems with focusing on a virtual object. Good to know that it is not the case here!
    Have a nice day!

    At the "I'm in Gothenburg" intro You had me dead laughing 🤣
    You should start every video with something like this. Would be hilarious. And clickbity thumbnails is a must 😂

    Please do exactly the same set of tests next year once you can get a hold of the Apple Vision Pro headset.

    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.

    I like how you mentioned you had little space in front of you. Almost like your imply to the guy in front to put his seat forward.
