Basically title. After seeing the Apple headset announced and is aimed much more at being a “computer” replacement than anything else…

I started to realize most of what the showed could already be done in the Quest. Web browsing, apps, the only thing that makes me jealous is the eye tracking and using my hands on my lap.

I’ve started to try to use my quest as a browse the web, watch a video, kind of device and for the most part it works pretty good. The isolation isn’t ideal but I think the Quest 3’s improved pass through may help.

    How long can you use it? I find eye strain is a limiting factor for working on it. I can’t imagine Apple fixed that though.

      I guess I’ve really only done it for an hour? I just get tired of using the virtual keyboard.

        Yeah, the virtual keyboard isn’t the best either. I found myself just using my real keyboard which negates some of the reason I wanted to use it in the first place. Hopefully that’s just a software issue though. I think they need to get away from traditional keyboards though. Not sure what would be better if the top of my head, but it needs to be compatible for shortcuts but avoid the trappings of “here is the same thing but virtual”.

          Honestly I feel like the best feature would be to let me use all my fingers for typing. At least then I wouldn’t be pecking the air with my index fingers.

          Maybe with the quest 3
