They're ok for solo gaming, but anything multiplayer or especially cooperative is impossible.
If we can’t just go back to normal now, then why don’t we just give up?
Deleted my 10+ year accounts a few weeks ago.
Hardly use it now, and have been able to use it more responsibly.
My idea is basically a Reddit-but…
So it would work great with the same exact content as Reddit itself.
I won't pretend it's for everyone, but it did take some time for me to get used to. I didn't have the option of buying multiple good monitors at the time, so I was forced to adapt, but now I prefer it.
Quest 2 is $300 stock and primarily standalone. Can also connect to a PC for PCVR.
Reverb requires a PC. Is much better in nearly every category, but I think costs $800 plus $1000-$3000 computer attached to take full advantage.
Immersed only supports the Quest line currently and only as a standalone app. I’m not sure if they still support the Go, but I would only recommend the Quest 2 for new Immersed users.
I use Immersed everyday for my full workday. Oculus Quest 2 is a musthave. The resolution is high enough that the “screendoor” effect is gone. I use only two displays. 1) 2880x1800 blown up to the size of a football field and pushed very far away. 2)1920 x 1080 closer and below for communication.
If you want to commit for work you should upgrade the headset. Get the elite strap plus battery, an aftermarket facial interface and prescription lense adapters from VROptician.
I’m pretty sure every OS gets virtual monitors now, but if not you can buy very cheap headless hdmi dongles instead.
One other great thing about Immersed is that the entire company is very active on Discord. I’ve talked directly to the CEO about bugs, and they even sent me a custom build when they accidentally broke a niche feature I relied on.
Feel free to ask other questions about Immersed.
