I Used Virtual Monitors For a Week!

- In this video I try the Augmented Reality functionality of the VR headset Meta Quest Pro. The idea is to see if virtual monitors is something that can replace your physical desktop monitors. How functional is it right now? Do I see a potential future for this technology? Or, is it really just a gimmick to sell you a new device?
Here is my other channel with nature related content: youtube.com/@halldenlogs3445

Tip for future airplane usage: turn off 6dof tracking in settings to avoid the “stuff slides away” issue. Not sure if this breaks Workrooms, but it works great in Immersed and media apps
THIS! It's a feature, not a bug. I'm glad to hear you can turn off the accelerometers for these headsets.
He probably should have researched the headset a bit more before making the video - it was still entertaining though
Can you use virtual monitors on the quest 2, quest 3
@@IcxnicCloud yes
@@Keyakina which one quest 2 or 3
So I want to thank you for watching this video! This is by far the video I’ve put the most amount of effort and money into ever! This was a really big project and took me a long time to complete. This is how I will approach all videos on this channel going forward. My focus will be to make the best videos I could possibly make, and this one is the start. I genuinely hope you enjoyed this video!
Also this video is not sponsored by meta or anyone. Do not buy this device! At least that’s my advice
Thanks for being honest❤💯. I always look forward to your videos.
very great video! looking forward to a lot more
This was the only feature of the headset that sparked my interest. Great video! Now I know it sucks :)
Thanks you for sharing your honest opinions on the realistic and practical perspectives! I've also noticed that your Samsung laptop is running Ventura. What is the model of your laptop? 😃😃
Kalle cancelling Meta 👀
It's such a joy to observe how significantly the quality of filming was improved! Great job, Kalle!
Best of luck Valerii hope everythings going well for you!
I don't have the quest pro, but after working with virtual monitors on Quest 2 I have to say - the connectivity issue is most likely your laptop's wifi limitation and not the headset. Try a dedicated wifi6 router (one that won't thermo-throttle on the constant load). It kinda defeats the portability theme a bit, but that was the only way that worked for me.
Yes it has been demonstrated that most laptop wireless connectivity struggles with things like this, I agree that a wifi 6e antenna would fix or mostly mitigate the issue
It's not connectivity, it's a GPS tracking issue. I'll tell you, if you have a 5G connection there is no problem and things are @ 2K/4k with my PC. But GPS Tracking kills the experience.
Hopefully soon they will make a newer VR air bridge for the quest pro. Sadly the current one only works with the quest 2 as of yet.
sometimes it helps to put a little fan if your wifi router is weak and it'll throttle a lot less
Agree on this, also using a cable connection improves everything a lot
I actually came back to your channel the other day because I noticed that you hadn't posted any video in quite some time. It's cool to see you back, with a hugely different level of production! The screen "holographic" effect was really cool! Also, as a fellow dev, I've also thought of this exact feature and hoped it would be better.
It's nice to see another video in my feed, keep the videos coming!
Same I thought maybe he moved on to a new project!
I really liked the editing that hovering and moving the screen
i love how boris becker was so honest with his review
Hey!
Lol😂
He seems younger after j-time.
Who’s Boris?
He's on the lamb doing tube vids for extra chedz
My guy bringing the fire!
I didn’t catch on to the Barney Stinson “Playbook” theme until the “Couch Surfer” and then I giggled like crazy. Thank you for this video!
This is the first of your videos that I've watched so far. Probably the most complete 'real world' review of VR headset I've seen to date. I'm fascinated by VR/AR technology and I enjoy following the evolution of the space. Personally, I have vision problems which limit what I could get out of the experience, but I enjoy watching the continuing progress. Thanks for a thoughtful and entertaining video.
Iam watching your videos from almost 2 years and love each and every video from your channel your coding methods your setup is so decent. I got so much motivation from your coding challenges.
I never got board watching your videos
Great content, decent editing
Keep it up❤
That really means a lot man, I really appreciate that you took the time to comment but also the amount of time you’ve spent watching my videos! Thank you!
Yeah. Really motivating . .
Please do exactly the same set of tests next year once you can get a hold of the Apple Vision Pro headset.

Wow!
This one was in the end worth the wait. I kept checking your channel for uploads from time to time.
The VR headset Meta Quest Pro is mindblowing. Great content! I never even knew a workspace could be this portable.
Hey, I just got this video recommended and realized I knew your channel from 2-3 years ago. I'll be back for the next videos and wanted to let you know I really enjoyed this one!
That backdoor Yahoo cut was TOO funny though!😂😂😂
Finally you have uploaded man I been waiting for your videos I really enjoyed your video. Great Content Keep It Up.
Best video I’ve seen of the Quest Pro yet. Very helpful.
The HIMYM sequence is awesome! I've loved it. !!! Keep up the good work !!!
I'm on month 2 working solely from my Quest Pro. Honestly, it has been amazing, to say the least. Immersed is awesome! However, I play games on Virtual Desktop. I even go as far as to leave my laptop at home, on and connected to the internet, and bring only my headset, Bluetooth mouse & keyboard, to the office. Works extremely well.
Do you have any issues with using like author of this video?
I'm asking because I want save some money and buy Quest 1/2 to improve my coding and unreal engine experience 😄
@@Alternatywny_1 Having owned both I would highly suggest the Pro, I have not had any connectivity issues as mentioned in the video. 1st - the quality of image is much better on the Pro, allowing me to work exclusively from the headset for long periods of time, especially with having to read small text without having to zoom in. 2nd - The connection to my remote computer seems to be much stronger on the Pro, even when connecting via hotspot while away from my computer. My setup in office is my 17-inch laptop with the headset using the Immersed app ( with wifi direct turned on allowing me to remote directly to my computer for better connection). When traveling or away from the office I use the VSpatial app to remote access my laptop while using a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard. I almost always use both Immersed & VSpatial in pass-through mode so I can be aware/ interact with my surroundings. I purchased the headset when it was $1,499 & still think it has been an awesome investment.
Your cinema photography is amazing
Video production quality is exceptional. I enjoyed watching this. I look forward to your future videos.
This is your best video so far, for me at least. Superb editing, extremely entertaining all throughout and pretty creative with the challenges and Bear Grylls intro to the tram! Amazing content.
i really liked the how i met your mother reference and I'm glad to see you uploading again
Smashed it out of the park with this one @Hallden_ . Love your revamped style with the little "acting" bits- made me laugh out loud at least twice. Can't wait for more of these!
Need to put some googly eye on the front :D
Joking aside, I think eventually laptops will be replaced with cloud computing (VDI) with the use of AR/VR glasses. The only thing that will be needed is a keyboard. Oh and I hope we bring back the Power Glove I think that would be really cool lol!
More than commenting on the product, can we take a time to Appreciate his editing, the edits on him showing us the product is really impressive, great video!
I really love that it doesn't have an outro with blazing music to make me quickly close the video at the end.
Det skulle vara roligt om någon frågade om vad var du gjorde hahahah. Älskar dina videon BTW
this was epic, ive been wondering these things for a while, thanks for going that extra mile to try this all out and document it for us
It's good to have you back!
I really like the HIMYM playbook sections xD Awesome video btw :)!
Nice to see you back, keep up the work
Exactly today's morning i was checking if you are alive or what :D Welcome back!
Haha awesome! And thank you!
I’m so glad to have caught this video early. I think fair points were made. Keep in mind this headset will improve with each update. The Quest 2 is simply not the same headset it was when it was first released. Each update has brought new features, added stability, and even UI updates. We can expect the same for the Meta quest pro.
I’d be interested in seeing a long term review after 6 months.
There’ll be improvements to software, but I don’t think the 6 month review will be much better.
The hardware is simply not good enough. Screen resolution is not enough for a monitor replacement, the cameras are not good enough for AR, and while this use case doesn’t really require it, the battery life is too low. They can compensate some of this through optimization, but I think the Quest Pro just isn’t there yet. Maybe the quest Pro 2.
Boz is on record saying he wasn’t sure if they had enough spare CPU cycles to globally enable local dimming support - a literal keynote feature. The Pro is six pounds of sht in a five pound bag so don’t expect a Quest 2 style “glow up”
1:50 the impression instantly earned you a subscriber lmao
It's very good to see you in "action" again. I like your videos since your first big "a day of software developer" 3-4 years ago. It was a little bit hard to survive without your videos but iam very excited to see your new videos :).
Atesz Peti
the imitation of Barney Stinsons playbook is just awesomely done!
I'm so happy that my favourite TH-camr is back!!
I don't skip only your channel ❤️
It's kind of weird to see you use a Windows laptop and show MacOS visuals on the Meta Quest Pro. I guess that was just for B roll?
Either way - awesome video! One of the best I've recently seen from you: creative, informative and fun
You have the future unannounced Pro 2! Can I try? 😂
The fact that Quest 3 has 2x better, sharper and clearer pass through for only a fraction of the cost is astounding.
I believe quest 3 would have costed more if it wasn’t for apples 3500 price of their be headset coming out. Apple helped us get a cheap headset because the quest 3 is way better then the pro
Less cameras
Apples headset is in a class of its own. It wont affect meta decision on price for the general public. @@michialharris1850
@michialharris1850 that makes no sense. They can't have a ridiculous increase from the 2. Also to reach the masses you can't charge thousands. You're not going to meet many people with the apple headset. Not many even have 3.5k to throw on a device
@@michialharris1850 honestly other than maybe less quality, it absolutely rocks. My Quest 3 has been fun as shit to use.
Good to see you back man , cheers
Does the Quest Pro not have a 3DoF mode for traveling? IIRC the Quest (2) has this and it will cost some immersion to have a more stable experience in vehicles.
My boy just bought 3 seats, just to film this video, you not only deserve a sub but a bow
This is a high quality video. Glad you're back, Kalle.
Honestly, the world would be 100x better if all reviews were as thoroughly done as this.
Also, we almost have the same profile picture, Mr. Hallden xD
Absolutely love these types of videos man, please keep these up!!!
Latency and refresh is a solved issue (see VirtualDesktop).
I do wish that Workrooms or Immersed whatever app is on the quest pro would treat your focussed screen like VirtualDesktop and keep the others bandwidth-limited, allowing you to configure options for changing focus by looking (head tracking or eye tracking now) or mouse pointer.
I also actually think the nReal Air might be better for this purpose long term. I've had a good time with the nebula landing page and Samsung Dex, I just wish I could do 3 Dex screens side by side inside nebula and then I'd be onboard.
"Crippling social anxiety", mate the nerve it took to do that in a cafe. Most people wouldn't dare. That was hilarious. Great video
I had to stop watching and come here and comment on how awesome the narration is. It's hilarious and reminds me of one of those documentaries. Great job! Now back to the show.
Interesting insight that the turning of the train car messes with the motion sensors in the VR headset!
great video. love the honesty. AI is so much to play around with, but not practical yet. I love the sound and music effects that you added to the video. i personally prefer the reviewing type of video where a person explores the idea instead of your normal vlog. anyway thanks for the video
When I've worked from home, I often use my Quest 2 and sit on my Sofa in my office and work from there rather than at my PC. The Virtual Desktop app is very useful for working, I've taken teams calls through the headset and then when its quiet, jump into a quick game.
Having an external battery back solution, or being stationary and on charge is essential for getting a days worth of work in though, otherwise you're on for 3 hours max.
So glad to see you making content again!!
Glad to see you back!
Thank you!
Love the reference to the bro code from How I Met Your Mother😂😂
I myself have been running a VR desktop for 2 years now and could not be happier. Using XrDesktop on Pop!_OS you get a better granular control over the windows inside VR. Been using this environment to code, game and watch movies. The only problem is that it scrapes the window on the screen so you need a good resolution for it to be clear text.
Great video showcasing the possible future of home office
Ive been waiting for the next video for a while now and gotta say that this exceeded all my expectations. One of the best videos you’ve ever made. Keep up the great work!
Great video. This is the application of VR/AR that I'm most excited about. I think it would be nice to have a portable setup that didn't involve bending my neck to look down at a laptop screen. I was wondering why you didn't try Nreal glasses for this test, as those would probably be workable while moving, and are sharper, which is better for simulating monitors.
I am using Immersed + Quest 2 rn to watch & write this (been working "goggled in" for a while now). I do 3d sculpting, modeling etc as well as general browser based work.
Tips: 1. if latency is an issue just use a usb cable. It's not too much of a hassle and I am getting 1ms response...it's truly unnoticeable. It also keeps your headset charged!
2. As others have said, turn off headset tracking in settings > system > headset tracking to avoid the screens moving while on the tram/plane.
Bro! You bought 4 plane tickets just to test and film this properly!? Now that's dedication!
First ! its a blast from the past for me to watch kalle's videos once again !
I wanted to mention that theres a hobby out there called FPV where you gotta where similar kinda goggles only that you control a drone which flies really fast and makes people super nauseous
minus the huge noise and attraction the flying drone and a cyborg looking human being standing somewhere and flying it .
But I must mention since someone like me did overcome those sort of motion sickness and fear from the lack of situational awareness I could totally look forward to use this instead of a physical monitor provided it supports a mouse , in which case its super cool .
If couch surfer was a reference to himym - then you’re just a legend
You can lock the orientation. I think this would help when using on a flight.
I do agree that it looks a bit weird looking at someone using vr in a café and whatnot, but I believe that in a new future it will become more and more common to see people using those around.
homie really did a "barney's playbook" gag, and I'm 110% here for it
I liked your Bear Grills bit. This is surely the first one on your channel :D
H: Commuting to work here forces you to push yourself hard and further than anywhere else.
Manila: Finally, a worthy opponent.
Could you do the same thing with the new Quest 3 and then compare them?
Being honest with you, I dont really know you or your channel and just hop in the cool new tech stuff video, and all the start part of the video I was like "Damn, Would be cool being able to affort that kinda of stuff", then after seeing you using Visual Studio Code I was able to identify what's you been working on, you're using flutter/dart to create mobile or web stuff, and I got kinda of hyped cuz is the same stuff I'v been learning for the past 2 years, so seeing someone that I thought as "economic stable" enough to have one of those googles that (I suppose) work in the same area that Im heading into its really exciting and inspirational y'know, for now im just a Brazilian boy looking after education to one day be able to get those cool thing without worrying that much, but who knows, maybe one day
Great production value on this video. Congratulations! Were you inspired by How I Met Your Mother's Barney's playbook? :) Looking forward to seeing what Apple will bring as well.
I've been dreaming about AR monitors like this for years but it seems I'll have to hold out for a few more. Thanks for your video!
I had the same issue with watching movies on the plane. After disabling head tracking everything stayed in-place as it should.
Hehehe, the Bear Grylls intro was great!😂
Yo Kalle, you legitimately my hero. This year I’m gonna try my best to be like you by challenging myself more and creating value. Perhaps I might even start my own channel. Love from Namibia.
@Hallden . I love to see you compared this Microsoft holo lens. Great video.
Why the windows/linux notebook with the macOS screen at 5:08? Did I miss something?
I like how you mentioned you had little space in front of you. Almost like your imply to the guy in front to put his seat forward.
Loved this review!!! You saved me a ton of money on trying these out. I would definitely like to carry around 3 screens with me in a pair of AR glassed, but the technology has to get better. Your video editing skills have become top-notch! Hope you publish more videos (on ANYTHING/any subject) in 2023. You weave a good yarn.
5:05 you opened an ubuntu laptop and program on macos?
they should probably place the cable port in the middle of the headset -- to make it less intrusive. the lag comes from the headset being wifi connected. and they need to add room on the sides of the head for glasses.
Anyone else notice that at 5:10 the holographic screens he edited in don’t match the laptop? They are of an OSX/Apple device when he is actually using a Lenovo.
This guy took a page from the playbook for that last part. Legendary
For the connectivity issue, try using a thunderbolt cable to connect the headset and Mac. Also I’ve noticed that sharing internet from your Mac and using that networking on the oculus improves latency.
Hope that helps!
It looks like he's using a Hackintosh, it didn't look like a true Mac. This could also be an issue
2 mins in, really good video so far!
This was the exact use case and review I have been looking for.
Welcome brother! after a long time.....
what you could do in unstable environments is to stop tracking, then it should (hypothetically) not change the view. I guess you can do that by getting the developer mode on.
Thanks, Kalle for a great and unbiased video! I enjoyed every minute of it. ❤
For me it’s also important to work with multiple monitors while on the go. One great remote work setup is the one by nomad setups 😁
Looking jacked recently man 🎉, vr causes soo much disorientation after hours non stop
Haha thanks! Yeah definitely!
At the "I'm in Gothenburg" intro You had me dead laughing 🤣
You should start every video with something like this. Would be hilarious. And clickbity thumbnails is a must 😂
They can fix the plane/public transport problem with an airport/transport mode which keeps them stationed in one direction and only move with a stick movement.
Hey @Hallden, excuse my ignorance, but how exactly are the virtual displays shown in the video created? like, do you use rendering software to make that?
Clearly it's what (you) are seeing with the headset on, but how are you showing the audience of this video? I am just beginning to learn about coding, editing etc. and this fascinates me!
Love the HIMYM style lol. The is amazing too good job!
Loved your new style 😆.
I see somebody loved that HIMYM episode as much as I did :D
A small lidar helping out would probably fix the unstable environments. Odd it isn't included as Lidars are common on phones nowadays?
Hey Lorenzo Von Matterhorn
This video was legendary
When did "looking forward to" get replace by "excited". Is it a form of shorthand. (old guy)
Unexpected himym references! Love it
