Can the Quest 3 Replace your Monitors?

I am just demoing the quality of pass-through as well as desktop usability of workrooms. I was playing around pretty much exclusively with hand tracking and was blown away.

Thank you all for all the views these last few months! I hope this video, as well as my others, have helped those on the fence to consider the crazy world of VR. Things really are changing at a crazy speed.

Wow, that "dog barging into room" sound effect was super realistic

Let me save you 5 minutes. You can, but you won’t want to. I tried it for a week and lasted a couple of days. It’s so much less convenient and comfortable that’s there is just no point. It’s a tiring experience.

You can actually make it so just your keyboard is passthrough and everything else is virtual. You do that by first choosing a virtual environment, then you go to settings. then you enable keyboard or desk passthrough

I really wish Microsoft would collaborate with Valve and update Windows to support completely freeform window scaling in VR, so if you're in SteamVR you could have any program open as its own floating window and instead of it merely being a screen capture of the desktop (which tends to break when there are other programs in the same screen), it'd be an actual window in VR you can make as big as you want and place anywhere

I have been looking for exactly this kind of video!!! If it could become a virtual desktop eith multiple displays, I would completely buy one!

I have a Q2, but upgraded to the Q3 for pass through and a virtual office. I have tried Virtual Desktop and Immersed and love using Immersed because I get 3 virtual monitors (up to 5) and pass through for wireless kb and mouse. Not perfect but I would say 85-90% amazing. I am now working like this most of the time. So much better than the Q2. I develop software and this is a game changer for me. So pleased with the Q3 for this purpose.

Looks pretty good, I've been a longtime user of Virtual Desktop with the quest 2 as an attempt to replace my monitors. The virtual monitor quality is acceptable in most cases, but the passthrough leave a lot to be desired. Seeing this gives me hope that I might actually be able to effectively use the quest 3 as a productivity device.

The quest 2 was a gift, but I've never experienced technology like this. It was game changing, discovering resident evil 4 on this was like me when i first discovered video games just life changing. I instantly wanted more but the apps are very limited unfortunately, there's so much potential if tech and gaming companies would support this more, i can't wait to get my hands on this with the new upgrades

[DavidHelloWorld]

“If it’ll cooperate with me” is what breaks it for me. But given most of it appears to be the more reliable mouse and keyboard after initial setup, I’m tempted to try. Thanks for sharing 👍

[dogzer]

Really good question! I was thinking the other day, smart glasses may replace monitors entirely. No more 2 screen or 3 screen setups. No more super wide screens that cost exponentially more for the extra size. Now we can have endlessly huge giant screens right on our face.

The question remains whether it's bad for eyesight to use goggles too long.

Thank you for this quick review on the Virtual Monitor option in the Quest 3. I've been looking around for a good device for virtual monitors on the go.

[bobhawkey]

Thanks for this. I do some tinkering in Unity and could definitely use a couple more screens for the game and timeline windows. I'm gonna give it a try.

[VREmirate]

Yeah, You can use controllers/hand tracking in the default meta browser and its often much faster than mouse & keyboard. Turns your monitors into touchscreens. Would be great it workrooms had it too.

[CarbonatedTurtle]

After watching countless videos of the Quest 3's passthrough before buying a headset and trying it for myself, I have to say it was a pretty big letdown. So many people made it seem I could just wear the headset around my house and have this great mixed reality experience, but the super low resolution and warping make it more of a gimmick that I'll probably never use than anything else. I have no doubt it'll only get better from here, I just can't see myself ever using it for anything other than quickly looking at something in my room while I'm playing a game.

[moorebags]

have you tried any virtual cinema apps? if so, how sharp is it? all i really want vr for is a virtual cinema and computer desktop setup tbh.

[warlockboyburns]

I'm ready for the power of virtual desktop on this.

[damiresq]

There should be an AR video call option in the future so u can see the other person on the couch next to you. Would need an external accessory like a 3d depth cam.
I can't even imagine videochat industry how much will explode with such a thing :))

[Erindale]

I still have my Q1 sat on a shelf. I felt like a sign that VR wasn't ready with the intense screen door and the bad pass through. Is Q3 really viable for something like coding where you're needing to clearly see text for long work hours?

[nique]

people underestimate how long they're gonna wanna wear this thing on their head while working
