- Using a usb-c cable right now to connect immersed directly to laptop. I have 1ms latency, using two 2k screens. I'm only limited to that resolution because more than that the pixel density on the quest 2 isn't quite good enough imo, but I can also do dual 4k.
I don't know your computer specs ofc. Mine are pretty beefy (11th gen i9, a 4lb p1 gen 4). But it runs smoothly even when I switch to battery saver and turn off my gpu (with 1 4k screen as a result).
- I dunno. this is a nice story, but at the end of the day an android phone is just a slightly tweaked linux box. The buttons are a little bigger, the small screen is optimized for one window at a time, and there's a pop up keyboard...
They are specifically designing a VR-based window manager here. And it's linux and a community of hackers, and open source. I think you'll see community imitations and tweaks and improvements on the apple formula as an option almost immediately.
- Most people would agree, but some people are early adopters and have different risk profiles. I'm typing this from a virtual desktop experience using a quest 2 looking at 2 giant VR 2k displays, 1ms latency connected to my laptop through a usb-c cable (if you have good wifi the latency is good enough for wireless, but my airbnb wifi is meh, and the wired doesn't bother me).
I worked like this for more than 12 hours yesterday, too.
I strongly considered their product and found it very tempting. Not a perfect fit for me, so I didn't go for it in the end, but you have to realize the world is not full of a bunch of clones of you.
