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.

    I think there’s a difference between “being able to” and “having fun using it”. Quest is great for gaming, but everything else is an afterthought at best. I can imagine the screen and passthrough in combination with a thought out user interface and especially interactions makes a big difference.

    I tried using it in workrooms as a virtual screen, but it’s just streaming the content and the lag is just terrible. Combined with the low resolution it might as well not work at all.
