You can get that for $500 with the quest 3
The resolution isn’t quite there yet, and I think the headset is too heavy to wear for 8hrs a day, 5 days a week (plus leisure if you’re a gamer or hobbyist)
Quest 3 is light. 515 grams. Vision Pro is 600-650 grams.
Yes, pass through resolution isn’t there yet. Virtual monitor are fine though, especially large.
No you can’t.
The resolution is not close to sufficient for a monitor with any meaningful amount of text on it. Your eyes will be bleeding in about 2 minutes.
For pass-through monitor reading, yeah. 4MP won’t compare to the iVision’s 12MP. But “Quest generated” monitors are perfectly fine, especially if you blow them up to 8 feet.
I’m not talking about passing monitors through. I’m talking about having multiple virtual monitors in your field of view.
A shitty virtual 1080p screen taking your entire field of view is not even vaguely capable of being used for productivity purposes. It’s not remotely close. The whole point of multiple physical displays is to have a meaningful amount of information directly visible at once.
1080p doesn’t exist in a virtual environment.
That’s the generous best case of what you can tell a computer to display to, and it is still guaranteed to make text look like absolute shit.
It is not possible to use the terrible resolution of any of the quests to replace multiple physical monitors for productivity. The displays are bad for literally everything but entertainment.
I’ve used it. Have you? You won’t be editing photos, but reading text is perfectly fine.
BTW, The Quest 3 has the same horizontal resolution as the Vision pro.
Yes. The exact same reason you admitted that you can’t pass through a monitor is the reason it cannot possibly be used for any productivity requiring text. The density real monitors have is the density you have to have for productivity use.
Text is not mediocre. It’s absolute, blow your brains out trash. You cannot do meaningful reading on it.
Yes, reading passthough text is trash. The upgraded 4MP cameras on the quest 3 are still not good enough. I’m not convinced the apple’s 6.5MP will be sufficient either.
