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?

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
@@TPPreview yes
@@Keyakina which one quest 2 or 3
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!
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 👀
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 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
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 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.
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.
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.
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 . .
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
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!
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.
Absolutely love these types of videos man, please keep these up!!!
Video production quality is exceptional. I enjoyed watching this. I look forward to your future videos.
Best video I’ve seen of the Quest Pro yet. Very helpful.
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!
Finally you have uploaded man I been waiting for your videos I really enjoyed your video. Great Content Keep It Up.
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.
This was the exact use case and review I have been looking for.
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!
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”
Stellar review... thank you so much brother !!!
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'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!
Nice to see you back, keep up the work
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.
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 😁
This is a high quality video. Glad you're back, Kalle.
That backdoor Yahoo cut was TOO funny though!😂😂😂
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
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.
Good to see you back man , cheers
I really like the HIMYM playbook sections xD Awesome video btw :)!
So glad to see you making content again!!
i really liked the how i met your mother reference and I'm glad to see you uploading again
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.
Great video Calle, even though the conclusion was dissapointing from a tech point of view. I guess we just have to wait a little longer for this to really be a reality!
Btw, how did you manage to film yourself and the virtual screens? That looked very cool! Also, love your Monsteras!
This was super informative and thorough. Thanks for putting this together. I have been curious about this. Seems like it would be better if you could cable to your laptop to reduce lag.
Amazing Video! You can really see the amount of effort put into producing the video🤠
Loved your new style 😆.
Great content as always ❤️
Your cinema photography is amazing
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
It's good to have you back!
It’s been a while, Hallden! I love your videos! ❤❤
I'm so happy that my favourite TH-camr is back!!
I don't skip only your channel ❤️
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
Love the HIMYM style lol. The is amazing too good job!
This was an awesome review! It answered all the questions I had, I am with you man, I also think AR is the future and not VR.
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
I really love your approach in terms of quality over quantity, which is something I want to follow in the future.
the imitation of Barney Stinsons playbook is just awesomely done!
My guy bringing the fire!
2 mins in, really good video so far!
props for the effort !
Unexpected himym references! Love it
Exactly today's morning i was checking if you are alive or what :D Welcome back!
Haha awesome! And thank you!
@Hallden . I love to see you compared this Microsoft holo lens. Great video.
Another great video, I've messed around briefly with my Quest 2, but never for work or anything serious.
P.S. loved the Bear Grylls impression haha!
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.
Nice review! I don't think I'd ever buy it, but that was interesting 😁
Also, I thought that the biggest issue would be image resolution and problems with focusing on a virtual object. Good to know that it is not the case here!
Have a nice day!
Lag is diminished when using wired to PC for laptop directly
I work in VR typing and coding and web development and have been for months. Absolutely Love it
Hello Hallden, Happy New Year!
I enjoyed your take on the subject. I have been a long time follower of VR/AR and even own the original Oculus from the kickstarter. I owned the Oculus CV-1 and HP Reverb and G2. I thought the Quest original wasn't good enough to justify getting. The Quest 2 was* amazing. And you touched on why the main purpose of getting a stand alone headset that really *was what made the Quest 2 great.
That is it worked on Trains, buses and planes. Then an update or to me a huge down grade they put tracking software and nerfed it severely it's use on the go. I used to use it all the time while traveling. Then they forced a FB account and then moved to meta destroying all usefulness. The two I own both now collect dust and if the Quest Meta pro has the same issue, why would anyone want this product. It is a great portable office actually. But not with the monetized tracking making it useless on the go as you said, drifting to leaving your office at the last or orignal destination station.
I will tell you it did work, it was awesome and it was very useful and fun actually. But now with the GPS tracking, it doesn't wiork and it didn't improve the user experience, it actually destroyed the user experience at the cost of the owner.
The GPS tracking issue making it unuseable really is the main point of your presentation and I couldn't agree more with your experence and results.
Great Vid, Great points and let's hope that someone is listening.

love your videos , just watched your first video i immediately sucribed ❤❤👍👍:-D
This was a great video!
Glad to see you back!
Thank you!
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.
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.
Jäklar vilken kvalitetsproduktion! Snyggt jobbat!
I liked your Bear Grills bit. This is surely the first one on your channel :D
Cool video. Would be helpful to know what laptop you're using / specs in terms of lag issue. I'm wondering if your laptop is the bottleneck, bluetooth connectivity vs wifi connectivity, etc. Other than that, was great to see you testing them out in commute environments.
Wow, great video!
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.
we're glad you're back again...
we would like more coding videos and app ideas because you are really good at it
btw... apple theme in linux, right ...??? love it!!!!!
Thank you for the thorough review! Indeed, I was most concerned about the latency aspect, and you showed it was actually an issue. Now that Apple's VR headset is coming out in WWDC, I can't wait to see their implementation of AR and virtual desktop as well!
$3499
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 😂
This is some of the highest quality content on TH-cam.
Great review
I think that Meta Quest is very good but is the start of something awesome in the future
Like smartphone, when it has started years ago no one thought it would be as it is nowadays, with so much new technologies
Welcome brother! after a long time.....
Waiting for your videos for a long time
Great review
I love your how i met your mother reference with Barney!!!
that's my boy kalle, we want cool stuff like this
Welcome back Hallden :)!
"Crippling social anxiety", mate the nerve it took to do that in a cafe. Most people wouldn't dare. That was hilarious. Great video
Amazing video!
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
Interesting insight that the turning of the train car messes with the motion sensors in the VR headset!
Hi @Hallden_ great video! I'm pretty sure that you can turn off the tracking via guardian settings, after which you should be able to use the screens in unstable environments.
I really love that it doesn't have an outro with blazing music to make me quickly close the video at the end.
Please do exactly the same set of tests next year once you can get a hold of the Apple Vision Pro headset.
$3499
@@soberanisfam1323 ***from $3499 (might go up even)
Something worth pointing out is with the quest 2 when it first came out. It too had some software issues. But after a few years of constant updates it has become a solid piece of tech. So the pro should be great after a few kinks get sorted.
Also I think it will get this done faster than the quest 2 because they are laying off so many workers and focusing there efforts on the quest 3. Saying they need to prove that the next headset is worth your money. They will most likely put some of the software from the quest 3 into the pro if it can mix with it.
1:50 the impression instantly earned you a subscriber lmao
Great video m8.
I'd love to see this same video concept with those NReal AR Glasses!
Awesome vid🙌🙌
