Typing this from Immersed. I've been using it since March 2020 for work, and have not looked back since. Three key things why working in VR is better: you're out of your environment, you're more focused, and you have multiple virtual monitors.
@@CasandChary I would love to try it but my internet is so slow that it took about 10 minutes to install 10 mb only, I'll get it fix, at least I hope I will. I will probably use it for coding and game development or animations. Does it work with no bluetooth keyboard? Like maybe pressing keys on the keyboard and it'll much the size itself?
Stuff like this makes me really really really consider getting into VR right now. I’ve held out for a long time since I just didn’t think VR was worth my money but the quest 2 really checks a lot of boxes for me and I’m really starting to consider getting one.
The fact that I can use It in pair with my PC and my laptop when I travel to play PCVR tittles warranted the purchase in my opinion, alongside it being a totally standalone unit.
I can see this being handing while traveling. At home I three monitors all the time. Its hard when I'm at a hotel needing to work off just a laptop. Now I could just lay on the bed with the laptop and still have my normal 3 screens.
Oculus needs to work on their accessibility features. I’m missing 2 fingers on my right hand. Without some kind of remapping and training feature for hand tracking the hand tracking feature is almost useless to me
Oh, yes, they should do that. To be honest though it is still very much a beta test level function. It is not really very usible even with the standard finger set at the current time. Hopefully as it improves and comes to be more of an actual functional system they will do what they need to with regard to accessibility.
Honestly they have the most robust accessibility features on any VR headset ever, and even compared to most tech in general there are a lot of accessibility options. You have a pretty specific issue that really makes it pointlessly difficult for them to work around. Hand tracking isn’t good enough for you to have a reason to care anyway.
I've been waiting for something like this for so long! I tried working through the oculus virtual desktop in pc and everything was good but mouse and keyboard is still a lot better. If i can use my headset as 5 monitors with a passthrough keyboard that's perfect!
I was watching this video as I fell asleep last night and suddenly I started to dream that I was in my living room and then you walked in and stumbled down on the floor. I came over to check on you and ask if you needed some water and were you alright and you said you were fine and then we started cuddling there for a moment. Soon after I woke up and had to cut off the computer to get my sleep, and I'm giving my dream VR a rating of 9.8. Cheers!!
Been using this since it’s alpha. At that point it was the only vr remote app that was used Mac. They’ve come along way in the development. I was disappointed though when they announced the paid versions were subscription based instead buying it once. But there’s a work around. Just buy headless monitor connections for any additional video connections on your graphics card. They show up on immersed as monitors. You got the additional monitors without the need of paying a subscription.
There is an open source project called “ReVive” that allows you to use your Oculus store applications on the Valve Index and HTC Vive. Works really well I use it frequently, and it’s updated regularly.
I'm currently using this and I want to tell you if you do not have a dedicated gpu use 2 screens firefox for watching youtube and close chrome(too heavy lag) plus this is awesome I'm in the coffee shop any issues their discord is in the help section and they are helpful
I want Virtual Desktop to implement this... Also to include 60% layouts and other non-standard layouts like 75% or Or even ortho would be cool. Maybe even split keyboards? Need to respect the custom keyboard community. Another solution is maybe to allow the user to take a snapshot of the keyboard and crop the image. Align keys and functions to each key easily based on keycap outline via software and allow the user to use their own custom keyboard from there.
I'm so excited for my HP Reverb G2! It'll defintely be the best for working in VR not only because of it's super high resolution but because of it's great comfort
I did this for about 4 hours over 2 days in the Quest 2 last week. My biggest issues are comfort and the keyboard layout. Having a virtual keyboard helps A LOT, but I use a lot of special keys and they are just in the wrong location. Hopefully we'll get more standard layouts soon. The other issue is comfort. The device is just a bit too heavy (I have the elite strap with a counter weight) for long sessions imo. That being said, I feel like I was actually able to focus more easily because all exterior distractions were gone. I'll be trying it out more today and in the future to see if I can adjust. Thanks for the video!
OMG, I really need this, watching tutorials for UE4 is hard to keep switching screens, now I can have the tut on a screen and what am doing on another screen.
I have no issue at all typing in VR. as i don't need to see my keyboard to type :). It's actually surprisingly easy to place my hands in the correct starting position and you know your on the right spot because your pointer fingers feel those notches on F and J. But i guess for those who hasn't learned to type would have significantly more issues. And from playing games on PC all my life i also know all the special symbols and other keys like home keyes and so on.
This is pretty cool, they definitely need to add several keyboard types though, also surely they could add a mouse...calibrate the same way and then as long as u don’t pick up ur mouse it’ll just track it where u move it. Once they have that Remote Desktop thing would be interesting to try it with a shadow pc, if u can pair wireless mouse n keyboards to the quest that would be great, if you only have an option of a track pad that would suck I gotta say
You are hysterical lol :) The concept is great, but their entry price which is per month is too expensive at 14.99 just to have 5 screens. That's $180 per year, every year! WOW! You can buy used physical screens for less money. Yet physical should cost more than virtual. And this is the price they are starting with? - (people are not just going to want only 2 monitors in a free version.) Usually companies start at a lower price to first gain traction and also work out the bugs (like the bug you experienced with your laptop). I also think soon this will become a native feature as part of all headsets since it is so important now that resolution is no longer in the way. And yes every time I watch... don't want to forget to say... you are AWESOME :)
The keyboard thing is nice, i hope it gets implemented in the VR software itself since people already pay a premium for it and it seems like a thing that should already be available from the get go.
The virtual keyboard overlay kinda works well. Better idea. Use pass through, to see your actual keyboard, maybe, with a semi transparent grid etc? Or maybe have the virtual keyboard finger tip active with your virtual hands even? So we can type directly onto it. Who would need a real keyboard at all then. Just some thoughts. And yeah, tracked virtual mouse.
it would be easy to make a mouse for VR. Just put a small joystick where the left click button is. Moving the mouse on the table would move it up down left and right. And you would control the forward and backwards motion with the joysick. When it approached a floating screen the mouse cursor would 'stick' to it.
I'm sharing this video with all my friends! I bet many techies will enjoy this for adding diversity to our WFH scenarios during the pandemic! Thank you.
If you are a Blender 3D user and have a good Vr headset I highly recommend try the VR view with Blender 2.9, great way to get a 3D view of whatever you're making.
I have been saying for awhile that there will eventually be a work from home enterprise headset, especially for remote call center work, as you could really control your employee environment. I think this would overcome much of the security concernes with working from home, it would also help the employee as you wouldn't need external cameras preventing some of the Zoom embarrassment. I will buy the Facebook Keyboard and software once it comes out and am looking forward to it. I have been spending longer and longer periods of time in VR and can see myself being able to work long undistracted hours focused on what is in front of me.
That's pretty exciting to see and I'll looking forward to trying it. And can also see this video seeming so quaint and old timey in a few years given the place everything is improving. Thanks for showing us this!
Very nice video. Thank you for the upload. I have been working and using my Hololens 2 for a while now and it is nice to see a similar interface get closer to VR headsets. Maybe I'll come out with a program that rivals theirs lol. But that's a ways off lol. I have to finish working on Mixed Reality (Hololens 2)stuff instead. The only thing I don't like about (my set) such an expensive product is the fact that you can't just use it as a VR Headset like a Quest. You would think with a Hololens 2 I should be able to just start it up and jump in Steam VR or whatever. But the good thing is since it's real Mixed Reality I can use it literally anywhere. I sometimes watch youtube while in the kitchen cooking with a music screen playlist up and messenger and my desktop all around me in the kitchen, so I can have as many screens open as I want with Mixed Reality. And it's very good in a working environment while at a desk having multiple screens to work on with a real keyboard with everything visible around you. I can be in the back up a Lyft ride with my screens following me or ...........caugh......caugh.......(looking both ways suspiciously) on the toilet watching youtube lol. Um, I think I'll stop right there lol. Thank you again.
This took me quite a lot of effort to setup. Didn't really like my 4k monitor at all, and kept accidentally moving windows around like crazy. Was close to thinking I am old and want to complain. Got it working though, and love the keyboard integration now.
This is awesome but before I use it the things I would need are gesture to swipe to change desktops so I can easily and quickly flip to the desktop I want and have that desktop maximised to get the best view of it. And keyboard layout that matches my keyboard as you mentioned in the video.
I'll be using VirtualDesktop so I have the power of my main PC, but I can contiune to use it anywhere in the house over Wifi6... it's very cheap to use this high bandwidth connection, just add a PCIe Wifi6 card to the computer, create a wifi hotspot and then connect Quest 2 to the hotspot. Logitech has released some keyboards which can pair directly with quest over bluetooth as well which is awesome. It's crazy that just a headset and a keyboard can produce a full office / social / entertainment environment. Imagine VR 5 years from now if Facebook and others continue to produce extremely affordable headsets like the Quest 2! 120 hz, super high resolution, 6 hour battery life, direct lossless video streaming from a dedicated game system etc... - this will cause the display industry some concerns if people can have a virtual environment with a huge cinema, and a desk with 3 screens, and a relaxing outdoor area with a virtual drawing pad which tracks a real life pen using AR against a surface etc... amazing!
I'd like this kind of overlay for games as well. Some games work with keyboards. For just touch typing I can get by OK most of the time without peeking, it's with game controls that I have to look. ;)
This really seems amazing, i remember the huge increase in productivity once i got my second screen. And just how easy it felt when swiping through screens the first time on our quest and the possibilities could be. I actually hope that they kill physical keyboards really fast since FB is working on that as well and even working on creating neural interfaces. The future is exciting, the future is now.
I just started playing with it. I didn't have a need for extra screens but the virtual keyboard overlay could be great for me when playing non -VR games through my VR headset. Programs like Virtual Desktop look great and it is what I have been using for controller based games but for keyboard/mouse based games I am excited to see if Immersed will allow me to do that easier in VR.
I was impressed with how ok it feels to be typing and working when it works, but feel like the experience is still really buggy with immersed. I have spend a few hours trying to set my office up and I experience a lot of the following: Hand tracking not always on, or working properly. Sometimes my hands are not detected despite them being on front of my face (only for this app). Sometimes hands appear but "partially" like I can see them but they are translucent and do not let me do gestures. If I am typing with my hands I want my hand tracking to work. When hand tracking does work, very easy to move screens and stuff by mistake. Some screens stuck/frozen or not working. Sometimes screen loading for waay too long after a display setting is changed - maybe to do with my laptop not being beast but should be good enough?. Screen layout not quite matching what I want for proper mouse flow across screens. Any others having issues? Really want this to work!
I kindly asked u/ggodin of virtual desktop if he needed me to sacrifice my firstborn to get this functionality in virtual desktop. He said he’d get the overlay when Oculus themselves does it with infinite office. I keep my firstborn on standby.
Now you can use logitech k830 keyboard to pair with your quest 2 to type. I don't use windows or android for typing. Instead I am using only chromebooks and it is more complicated to use the virtual desktop for chromebook in quest 2. So, a stand alone keyboard will be good.
Wow! This is great! Even though I'm retired, I still do some consulting and use MS Office 365 all the time. So, I'm going to download Immersed VR as soon as I'm done typing this. Thanks for your great vids! Doc-CJ
The only thing I don't like about this is that working in vr is going to be a strain on the workers eyes and head just so they're more productive and focused but they're not going to get a single cent more on their wages/salary to compensate. Its like what happened with computers but at least computers have strict health and safety regulations and for the most part people actually know how to work with them. I can also bet that there are some employers that will disable all features like custom environments, phone notifications, music players etc and it's just going to be working in a 360 picture of a black and white grid with your desktop and keyboard. There's going to be statistics like "people who use the mountain lodge environment are less productive than those that work in the void" and it's gonna essentially be a way to squeeze as much efficiency out of you as possible by blocking off as much of your personal life as possible from work. Sorry if that's disappointing to hear but ultimately what it's going to be used for and Facebook are only happy about this because right now they have a chokehold on mobile vr.
Partial passthrough so we can see our desk if we look down would be better than overlay, then we can see our mouse, whatever crazy type of keyboard we may have. That would surely be minimal work for the devs and no need to handle the myriad of different types of keyboards and mice. Hell, just throw in full passthrough so we just have the extra screens like we can in oculus home. Some sort of automatic placement of the primary screen above the keyboard would really streamline setup. And please give us snapping. I don’t need to finely tune where my monitor is, it just goes to the left, right or above another monitor.
This is very useful!! Can't wait to get my VR headset so I can do this and use 5 monitors while doing school work. It's cool they added a keyboard overlay as well, I have a blank keyboard so it doesn't matter to me but still really nice if say, my mom, dad, or sister want to work in VR! this is gonna be so cool!!!! I just hate that you have to pay a subscription of a crazy 15 dollars a month for the 5 monitors, they should just make it a one time purchase
instead of creating a virtual keyboard, they should consider creating a mask passthrough, so you can see your actual keyboard. I find 'shift' keys and 'enter' keys can be very different from one keyboard to another. arrow keys, etc. especially when you include laptop keyboards in the mix.
Testing about correct passthrough of the keyboard: You wrote the entire test-text without looking on the keys. "How you see, it works" 😀But thank you anyway for this video, I will give immersed a try 🙂
I have issues with the keyboard implementation, for one thing you need to have your keyboard on a solid desk, if your keyboard is on your lap once you get the virtual keyboard aligned then your real keyboard gets out of alignment. The next issue is that even if your keyboard is on a solid surface the alignment will still slide, just a little, so that your keys will be not quite in the right location, it's not the biggest issue but my brain has to do an extra step to move my fingers to the keys. The biggest issue is that the setup is clunky, you have to know where your keys are, pressing your P Q and B keys down all while your headset remains positioned so that the tracking remains accurate, I find if I have to lift the headset up to look at the keys to see where my P Q or B is then the cameras might lose the track and I'll have to do the thing again, this alignment process wouldn't be bad, except that I have to do it every time I have to take off the headset and put it back on, and every time the keyboard slips too far... It would be ideal if there was a way to stick a tracker of some kind on the keyboard, it would be great if it could just remember where the keyboard was relative to the guardian boundry because that typically is smartly glued to the room, so a stationary keyboard would remain in alignment between uses of the headset. Bonus points if there were multiple keyboard layouts to be able to account for keyboards that have numpads and arrow keys that are floating away from the qwerty levels.
I wish I could have this keyboard feature while playing PCVR games. For example, various flight sims, you're flying with a hotas instead of the controller--I'd love to be able to see the keyboard for additional buttons when I do that...
is there any chance that the pricing model could be adjusted for regular home users who might be willing to pay a one off fee. Understand it is aimed at businesses at the moment but using the free version with only one monitor isn't worth using for me.
yes finally !!!. thats what we need. mouse and keyboard or xbox/ps controller tracking in VR/MR/AR. and I dont want to walk while playing. I wanna sit on my chair and play. and also they should track my water/cola bottle too so I can drink without problems.
Love VR and with this it will help with E waste (you can have a TV, and Monitor all in this so for people with not much Space you can Save Space and Money by not need a 4k TV, and Desktop
The Quest‘s hand tracking is way too limited to even detect the position of my desk-bound keyboard. You essentially have to put the keyboard right in front of your eyes and look at it all the time. Otherwise the hand tracking stops working. Props to Immersed for including hand tracking but it’s simply not good enough. I am way more interested in innovative VR typing like the pinch gesture typing prototyped by FRL.
i don't want to pay so much money monthly for just having more screens which are fully virtual and don't even need any maintenance. I mean the features are great and all but I'll better have something I pay for once and with only the needed core features like multiple screen Support (as many as your gpu can handle) and the keyboard overlay. I wouldn't need any more tbh ^^
sounds good, but from the sounds of it, they don't support different layouts from different regions? like Nordic Keyboard layout, where some keys are placed differently etc., or do I have that wrong? As a developer, I work on several screens at once (2 -3 depending on location), and I use them all. The idea of sitting in a VR area like a space station lounge like you is very attractive. I just wonder if I would be able to work 7-8 hours without getting a neck crank or otherwise :). I just ordered my Oculus quest 2, so I haven't actually tried it yet, but for short intervals, for like a quick change it definitely sounds great.
Wish this had like a $5/month option for 3 screens or something. I will probably get the free version but I can't see spending $15 unless my company were to adopt this as a standard, which won't happen. Agree with wishing virtual desktop would do this, but that's a one man operation and he probably has his hands full supporting new games. Then again, never underestimate Guy Godin 😉 Great content as always!
Great video, and OMG! I actually already own that specific Logitech wireless keyboard shown towards the end. Hopefully that is the specific one infinite office is being developed for.

It's amazing that after all these decades, instead of getting rid of the keyboard, it's still being accommodated. That's a testament to something.

Can’t wait for these updates! :)
This is freaking dope
I have been saying for awhile that there will eventually be a work from home enterprise headset, especially for remote call center work, as you could really control your employee environment. I think this would overcome much of the security concernes with working from home, it would also help the employee as you wouldn't need external cameras preventing some of the Zoom embarrassment. I will buy the Facebook Keyboard and software once it comes out and am looking forward to it. I have been spending longer and longer periods of time in VR and can see myself being able to work long undistracted hours focused on what is in front of me.
omg why didn’t i know about Immersed already!? this is a GAME changer for quest users with Mac only thanks cas :)
Ah I wished to also see the webcam mode. Guess I'll have to check it out myself. Great work!
Good luck checking it 😉
IM SO EXCITED BECAUSE IM GETTING MY INDEX SOON
This is currently only on the Oculus store
Hope you get it and have fun playing. I am getting my quest 2 on 9 November can we play together vrchat or something?
i've got a quest 2, so happy with ittt
Same here estimated 2 more weeks wait its a painful wait
Have you seen the g2 reverb
This video got me to order the rift 2. I don't game but I *really* want five monitors on the go or while sitting on my couch.
That's pretty exciting to see and I'll looking forward to trying it. And can also see this video seeming so quaint and old timey in a few years given the place everything is improving. Thanks for showing us this!
Very nice video. Thank you for the upload. I have been working and using my Hololens 2 for a while now and it is nice to see a similar interface get closer to VR headsets. Maybe I'll come out with a program that rivals theirs lol. But that's a ways off lol. I have to finish working on Mixed Reality (Hololens 2)stuff instead. The only thing I don't like about (my set) such an expensive product is the fact that you can't just use it as a VR Headset like a Quest. You would think with a Hololens 2 I should be able to just start it up and jump in Steam VR or whatever. But the good thing is since it's real Mixed Reality I can use it literally anywhere. I sometimes watch youtube while in the kitchen cooking with a music screen playlist up and messenger and my desktop all around me in the kitchen, so I can have as many screens open as I want with Mixed Reality. And it's very good in a working environment while at a desk having multiple screens to work on with a real keyboard with everything visible around you. I can be in the back up a Lyft ride with my screens following me or ...........caugh......caugh.......(looking both ways suspiciously) on the toilet watching youtube lol. Um, I think I'll stop right there lol. Thank you again.
well said
VR is definitely the future.
This took me quite a lot of effort to setup. Didn't really like my 4k monitor at all, and kept accidentally moving windows around like crazy. Was close to thinking I am old and want to complain. Got it working though, and love the keyboard integration now.
Not bad for generation 1, virtual workspace.
This is awesome but before I use it the things I would need are gesture to swipe to change desktops so I can easily and quickly flip to the desktop I want and have that desktop maximised to get the best view of it. And keyboard layout that matches my keyboard as you mentioned in the video.
I'll be using VirtualDesktop so I have the power of my main PC, but I can contiune to use it anywhere in the house over Wifi6... it's very cheap to use this high bandwidth connection, just add a PCIe Wifi6 card to the computer, create a wifi hotspot and then connect Quest 2 to the hotspot. Logitech has released some keyboards which can pair directly with quest over bluetooth as well which is awesome. It's crazy that just a headset and a keyboard can produce a full office / social / entertainment environment. Imagine VR 5 years from now if Facebook and others continue to produce extremely affordable headsets like the Quest 2! 120 hz, super high resolution, 6 hour battery life, direct lossless video streaming from a dedicated game system etc... - this will cause the display industry some concerns if people can have a virtual environment with a huge cinema, and a desk with 3 screens, and a relaxing outdoor area with a virtual drawing pad which tracks a real life pen using AR against a surface etc... amazing!
I'd like this kind of overlay for games as well. Some games work with keyboards. For just touch typing I can get by OK most of the time without peeking, it's with game controls that I have to look. ;)
Usefull feature
Will be good for working in the Garden, under the Gazeebo, without screen glare, you have good presentation style.
I follow you from Italy. I love your videos, especially when you say: "Join me beyond reality"
This is soooo cool!
Like you 😎👉
This really seems amazing, i remember the huge increase in productivity once i got my second screen.
And just how easy it felt when swiping through screens the first time on our quest and the possibilities could be.
I actually hope that they kill physical keyboards really fast since FB is working on that as well and even working on creating neural interfaces.
The future is exciting, the future is now.
I think this could be the future for budget gaming because imagine if you only have to buy a gaming pc and no screens that would be really cool
I totally think I met you in the space station in immersed the other day haha
I just started playing with it. I didn't have a need for extra screens but the virtual keyboard overlay could be great for me when playing non -VR games through my VR headset. Programs like Virtual Desktop look great and it is what I have been using for controller based games but for keyboard/mouse based games I am excited to see if Immersed will allow me to do that easier in VR.
Same, looking forward to try some gaming next!
@@CasandChary I can only imagine playing Among Us with friends in Immersed!
I was impressed with how ok it feels to be typing and working when it works, but feel like the experience is still really buggy with immersed. I have spend a few hours trying to set my office up and I experience a lot of the following: Hand tracking not always on, or working properly. Sometimes my hands are not detected despite them being on front of my face (only for this app). Sometimes hands appear but "partially" like I can see them but they are translucent and do not let me do gestures. If I am typing with my hands I want my hand tracking to work. When hand tracking does work, very easy to move screens and stuff by mistake. Some screens stuck/frozen or not working. Sometimes screen loading for waay too long after a display setting is changed - maybe to do with my laptop not being beast but should be good enough?. Screen layout not quite matching what I want for proper mouse flow across screens. Any others having issues? Really want this to work!
Can you import your own 3D model environments? If not in Immersed, which of the other virtual work environments allow that?
I haven't bumped into a work VR app yet that does that
AMAZING VIDEO!!!
I kindly asked u/ggodin of virtual desktop if he needed me to sacrifice my firstborn to get this functionality in virtual desktop. He said he’d get the overlay when Oculus themselves does it with infinite office.
I keep my firstborn on standby.
Now you can use logitech k830 keyboard to pair with your quest 2 to type. I don't use windows or android for typing. Instead I am using only chromebooks and it is more complicated to use the virtual desktop for chromebook in quest 2. So, a stand alone keyboard will be good.
Wow! This is great! Even though I'm retired, I still do some consulting and use MS Office 365 all the time. So, I'm going to download Immersed VR as soon as I'm done typing this.
Thanks for your great vids!

The only thing I don't like about this is that working in vr is going to be a strain on the workers eyes and head just so they're more productive and focused but they're not going to get a single cent more on their wages/salary to compensate. Its like what happened with computers but at least computers have strict health and safety regulations and for the most part people actually know how to work with them.
I can also bet that there are some employers that will disable all features like custom environments, phone notifications, music players etc and it's just going to be working in a 360 picture of a black and white grid with your desktop and keyboard. There's going to be statistics like "people who use the mountain lodge environment are less productive than those that work in the void" and it's gonna essentially be a way to squeeze as much efficiency out of you as possible by blocking off as much of your personal life as possible from work. Sorry if that's disappointing to hear but ultimately what it's going to be used for and Facebook are only happy about this because right now they have a chokehold on mobile vr.
I'm always getting the "Cybershoes" add...
Same dude right when i read this i got one.
*ad
Partial passthrough so we can see our desk if we look down would be better than overlay, then we can see our mouse, whatever crazy type of keyboard we may have. That would surely be minimal work for the devs and no need to handle the myriad of different types of keyboards and mice. Hell, just throw in full passthrough so we just have the extra screens like we can in oculus home. Some sort of automatic placement of the primary screen above the keyboard would really streamline setup. And please give us snapping. I don’t need to finely tune where my monitor is, it just goes to the left, right or above another monitor.
That’s so sick ngl
I can work outside efficiently with five virtual screens? I don't need to use passthrough to view my keyboard? You have my attention!
Yes I do plan to use this for work, sure hope it works for revit and cad. Thanks for the info. I can't wait to have all of those screens
This is awesome, now I can set up a virtual office, and work in it
This is very useful!! Can't wait to get my VR headset so I can do this and use 5 monitors while doing school work. It's cool they added a keyboard overlay as well, I have a blank keyboard so it doesn't matter to me but still really nice if say, my mom, dad, or sister want to work in VR! this is gonna be so cool!!!!
I just hate that you have to pay a subscription of a crazy 15 dollars a month for the 5 monitors, they should just make it a one time purchase
For webdesign and development this seems absolutely amazing and so useful!
awesome experience u have shared with us
instead of creating a virtual keyboard, they should consider creating a mask passthrough, so you can see your actual keyboard. I find 'shift' keys and 'enter' keys can be very different from one keyboard to another. arrow keys, etc. especially when you include laptop keyboards in the mix.
What are the best non Oculus alternatives for those who won't use Fakebook?
Testing about correct passthrough of the keyboard: You wrote the entire test-text without looking on the keys. "How you see, it works" 😀But thank you anyway for this video, I will give immersed a try 🙂
I have issues with the keyboard implementation, for one thing you need to have your keyboard on a solid desk, if your keyboard is on your lap once you get the virtual keyboard aligned then your real keyboard gets out of alignment. The next issue is that even if your keyboard is on a solid surface the alignment will still slide, just a little, so that your keys will be not quite in the right location, it's not the biggest issue but my brain has to do an extra step to move my fingers to the keys. The biggest issue is that the setup is clunky, you have to know where your keys are, pressing your P Q and B keys down all while your headset remains positioned so that the tracking remains accurate, I find if I have to lift the headset up to look at the keys to see where my P Q or B is then the cameras might lose the track and I'll have to do the thing again, this alignment process wouldn't be bad, except that I have to do it every time I have to take off the headset and put it back on, and every time the keyboard slips too far...
It would be ideal if there was a way to stick a tracker of some kind on the keyboard, it would be great if it could just remember where the keyboard was relative to the guardian boundry because that typically is smartly glued to the room, so a stationary keyboard would remain in alignment between uses of the headset.
Bonus points if there were multiple keyboard layouts to be able to account for keyboards that have numpads and arrow keys that are floating away from the qwerty levels.
Check out NeosVR + OVR Toolkit combination. I think that it is still superior to the Oculus solution.
Not even remotely the same thing my dude.
I wish I could have this keyboard feature while playing PCVR games. For example, various flight sims, you're flying with a hotas instead of the controller--I'd love to be able to see the keyboard for additional buttons when I do that...
is there any chance that the pricing model could be adjusted for regular home users who might be willing to pay a one off fee. Understand it is aimed at businesses at the moment but using the free version with only one monitor isn't worth using for me.
wow...a really interesting way to sync the keyboard distribution and size...really nice :)
You have such a calm voice
yes finally !!!. thats what we need. mouse and keyboard or xbox/ps controller tracking in VR/MR/AR. and I dont want to walk while playing. I wanna sit on my chair and play. and also they should track my water/cola bottle too so I can drink without problems.
This sounds cool! I think I'll try it!
Ah! The free version gives you two monitors!
*I glance up at my desk... with... two... monitors...*
Bugger.
Love VR and with this it will help with E waste (you can have a TV, and Monitor all in this so for people with not much Space you can Save Space and Money by not need a 4k TV, and Desktop
min 3:50 oh no not yet for the valve index :/ Just was getting hyped
The Quest‘s hand tracking is way too limited to even detect the position of my desk-bound keyboard. You essentially have to put the keyboard right in front of your eyes and look at it all the time. Otherwise the hand tracking stops working. Props to Immersed for including hand tracking but it’s simply not good enough.
I am way more interested in innovative VR typing like the pinch gesture typing prototyped by FRL.
I'm going to give this a try. It will be interesting to see how it works with Solidworks which is mouse heavy and processor intensive.
i don't want to pay so much money monthly for just having more screens which are fully virtual and don't even need any maintenance. I mean the features are great and all but I'll better have something I pay for once and with only the needed core features like multiple screen Support (as many as your gpu can handle) and the keyboard overlay. I wouldn't need any more tbh ^^
What will happen if I relocate my keyboard? Will it recognise or require manual re-calibrate? Thx
You have to calibrate again. You can't mobe your keyboard after calibration.
sounds good, but from the sounds of it, they don't support different layouts from different regions? like Nordic Keyboard layout, where some keys are placed differently etc., or do I have that wrong? As a developer, I work on several screens at once (2 -3 depending on location), and I use them all. The idea of sitting in a VR area like a space station lounge like you is very attractive. I just wonder if I would be able to work 7-8 hours without getting a neck crank or otherwise :). I just ordered my Oculus quest 2, so I haven't actually tried it yet, but for short intervals, for like a quick change it definitely sounds great.
Wish this had like a $5/month option for 3 screens or something. I will probably get the free version but I can't see spending $15 unless my company were to adopt this as a standard, which won't happen.
Agree with wishing virtual desktop would do this, but that's a one man operation and he probably has his hands full supporting new games. Then again, never underestimate Guy Godin 😉
Great content as always!
Interesting presentation. Like it!
Besides working in the office, can you play games with the keyboard and mouse?
Great video, and OMG! I actually already own that specific Logitech wireless keyboard shown towards the end. Hopefully that is the specific one infinite office is being developed for.
