This is the last of a series of Workspace demos/walkthroughs. I really want to vibe with yall about gaming and entertainment too! As always thanks for watching!!! Can you tell what changed from the beginning of the video to the end? What can I say you all were right! Don't forget to like and subscribe A few things: Yes there is an option of using a Whiteboard but I didn't capture that. My bad. I couldn't get the webcam to work but it works the same as Horizon Workrooms, others will see your cartoon avatar. I couldn't show you telepresence but people in the same room with headsets can work together. EPIC!!!

Great video. You'r tone to camera is great. Down to earth coverage. Subbed. I've tried a lot and this is by far the most flexible and reliable virtual workspace I've used.
I use a portal behind my head. It allows a passthrough mode almost like the game. Furthermore, it allows me to look behind when someone knocks at my door, without having to go to full mixed reality. At first, it was just a rectangle window, but I turned it into a 3D orb direclty behind me because sticking your head through it is so much cooler. 😂
Another great video! (For the life of me, I cannot find what changed from the beginning of the video to the end though! Gah! 😅😂) I think that each of these workspace apps have their own uses, and can become part of our daily work lives depending on what we need. Thanks so much for creating this video. Looking forward to the future with entertainment stuff!
I’ll see if anyone else tries and I’ll tell you. Hahah it’s silly and super subtle. Thanks for watching … I’m excited to make some less serious content.. the quest 3 can be so much fun!
So I filmed the outro much later that day. So I had cut my hair. You can see at the beginning I had a mean 5 o’clock shadow and the hair on my head was all scrappy from wearing my headset. At the end I’ve shaved and cut my hair 😅 I’m actually glad I was overthinking it
@@TheConstruct_VR Whoa, you know I was suspecting something about your hair… but then I would check again and was like, “nahhhhhh, it couldn’t be that”, so I’m like, checking the background in your room, and the microphone you’re wearing 🤪 Nicely done!
Yeah sorry. When I first started the channel I thought I would be good to have myself and the VR content on screen but I move my head A LOT when I talk. I had to abandon this format. Thanks for suffering through it!
Really cool. Something I haven't tried is to use the Quest 3 to work in Blender and UE, this might be the solution to try that. Great vid, love your style 🖤
Thanks for watching! And yes I agree there’s still much need to see the screens of your more powerful machine. Not even the AVP has figured out how to run everything on the headset.
I use my blutooth keyboard/mouse that's directly connected to the headset when in Immersed. Sometimes it's finicky, but I've never had it be such a big issue that I needed to use my dedicated pc keyboard.
I’ll have to go back! I could not get this to work at all. I assumed it was like Workrooms. I kind of got the mouse to work but it’s like an overlay of the controller pointer passing through to the desktop. I didn’t like it at all. Thanks for the tip
@@TheConstruct_VR It does work, But not well. I usually use the headset with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse but they are connected wirelessly to the pc. I think that is the best result you can get for now.
@@MrUltraVic got ya! Yeah that’s what I do. I was spoiled by virtual desktop because it basically passes the input device to the machine you’re controlling… this needs to become standard now!
Agreed. I use the Logitech K830. It creates a 3D object within the quest that tracks and moves in 3D as you move in RL. So, you don't have to be in the same room.
fingers crossed for what could be the perfect XR solution. 🤞🏽 Demo units are supposed to be sent out for review this quarter and the founder series is supposed to start shipping in the 3rd quarter.
Yeah we can't let them forget Linux! Honestly man the multi screens are nice but I haven't really worked on anything that extensive to where i NEED them, I'm usually throwing up a youtube video or something on the other monitors.
@@TheConstruct_VR Yeah. It sounds pretty tame, but I'm mostly just excited to eventually load up my PDF of Python Crash Course on a monitor to the left of my main screen, where I'll work through the book. I like the idea of more ergonomically positioning my "books" and referring to them as I do my digital stuff on my laptop (without a physical external monitor).
@@TheConstruct_VR, really? You don't have different apps open at the same time and have to switch between them? If so, I'd just make a screen for each one. Just like what people with multiple RL monitors do.
@@TacticalTypos, kinda same here but for research projects. I can get super deep with them, multiple windows and tabs and having to switch between windows is annoying. Having multiple IRL monitors would be better but... eeeh. I like sitting on the couch while I work. Keyboard in my lap and mouse beside me.
Nice review; very useful thanks. Does it offer screen sharing with others in the collaborative spaces? Because it would be useful to do that with work colleagues. BTW, I'm currently just using Guacamole VNC (remote desktop in the browser.) I only get the 3 screens available on the default meta quest menu, on the other hand i can work like this in any app or in the default 'home' space. I tend to work in BigScreen or VR Chat (which has loads of environments to choose from, of course). But working this way doesn't let me share my screen with other colleagues online - hence my question. Thanks again!
Yes actually you can share in a meeting room that I point out here 10:49 In v67 in the main quest OS you can use more than 3 windows. You’ll need to go to settings > experimental features and turn on new window layout. I talk all about it here : th-cam.com/video/20tb3AUjsIc/w-d-xo.html Best of luck thanks for watching!
@@TheConstruct_VR Hey thanks again; I didn't know about this new experimental feature ❤ In this video (10:49) I understood you to mean that people can join your work room, but I mean that I need them to see the content of my 3 screens too 😀 (sorry if I'm misunderstanding you)
@@JJ-gq6sf no prob, I can’t remember if you can share 3 at a time but you can certainly share one. You’ll love the new window layout in the new versions. The only drawback back is that there’s no solid Remote Desktop option to use in the stock OS. They do have a desktop mirror app but is very limited functionality and requires you to still use the mouse and keyboard on the desktop/laptop itself, you can’t be far away from it. No need to apologize! I only want to help. Cheers!
Yeah I hear u. I think this was the only move they could make without upsetting the subscription haters. This at least gives you an option and makes you consider if you seriously want to use the app either with your time or your wallet. I feel like in the age of “free” apps using your data as currency it’s hard to go back to any cost model without upsetting users. Portals are a blast though. Hybrid mixed reality /vr I’m totally here for it!
@@TheConstruct_VR, the issue with a productivity app like this though is that are they collecting ALL of your data? ergo, any data that is displaced in the workspace in windows? If so, there are huge privacy concerns.
I think my main thing is the quest 3 regular straps hurts after like an hour... how are you using your quest even with the adjusted headstrap ? You think the visor immerse is coming out going to help with weight?
I think the regular strap is just uncomfortable for EVERYTHING. Including gaming. Other straps like halo straps or how the quest pro was built will provide much more comfort for working. Check out this part of the latest video here on the channel, see what the team at Fluid did to adjust for comfort.. th-cam.com/video/rR2y7eMAe_I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UxYtWJUBVIQUcKTx&t=776 But yes, Lighter weight headsets like the Visor will be 100% necessary if this ever becomes a normal way of working.
@@VK6AB- yeah I’ve never paid the gamification worked well enough for me. I haven’t been back to it recently but I’m interested in their upcoming headset though
@@TheConstruct_VR I've tried everything but generally go back to Virtual desktop if I need to do "work". I will probably end up with the AVP its much more seamless for "work productivity" but will wait another six months to see how it develops. The Spatial APP works very well for "workshopping" and idea organisation and collation.
@@VK6AB- I hear you. I’m eager for a 2nd gen of the AVP, bummed to hear about to the delays. I’m still undecided on going to the Visor live demos starting in a few months, If I go I’ll vlog it here for you. AVP is a great option I just feel like it’s killing a mosquito with a cannon. If Apple does a lite version I’m there day 1
@@TheConstruct_VR Great comments, I suspect a lot of users are sitting on the fence re AVP at the moment. I find I can get by for "work" applications in the Q3 but it is relatively high friction e.g. have slides, docs and sheets open as tabs in a browser whilst using a remotedesktop connection to mirror imac screen - very clunky and as you know remotedesktops are only as good as the connection. Appreciate your content 👍😀
I would like to create a reoccurring event somewhere. So, I'm investigating options. Do you think I could invite other people to meet up with me on some reoccurring way (example weekly games)?
This is going on ALL THE TIME in Horizon Worlds or do you mean in real life? Horizon has people who have game night meetups and all sorts of things. You just have to set the time and “place”
Also.. if you wanted to do it in immersed it’s the same just set up a room for them to join but you would communicate as usual like with google calendar
Yeah not everyone loves gamification but I feel like they covered both sides. Either you pay to keep the features or use it and get the features anyway. It’s up to the user on how they want to engage with it. Not a bad move in my opinion!
If a third party app can achieve this on the quest, I wonder why Apple decided not to do this in their bundled feature even though they claim the Vision Pro is powerful enough on processing power and “pro” user really want this cos that how they work.
Yes! I wondered the same. Honestly I think we got an over priced, over engineered dev kit with the Apple Vision Pro. It’s amazing and it can CERTAINLY do this with all that tech packed into the headset but they’re polishing it after release. Immersed is available for Apple Vision Pro too so perhaps there’s no rush. But I’m fine with this experience at $3000 less for sure. 😁
Bro, can I follow you in horizon worlds? I'm working with some cool cats into scripting and world building. They're big time. The VR space is a lot easier to network than anything I've ever experienced before. Do you have any worlds built out there in horizon worlds?
Hmm I guess the only way that would work is to get Linux running on it… but then you wouldn’t have the apps that run on android. There’s no mobile streamer for android.
@@TheConstruct_VRWhen I initially set it up it actually did work and displayed the phone for about 20 seconds before the app crashed on the quest. After that it wouldn't connect anymore
@@ct1freak interesting I wonder if where the bottleneck is… the network capability of the phone or the app on the quest 🤔 What type of photography work do you do on the S23?
@@TheConstruct_VR idk but Inwosh I could figure it out. Been doing light painting and astrophotography and wanted to be able to remotely view it while tracing images in vr
@@ct1freak yeah totally lame it stopped working. I was able to get my iPhone to work but it’s only mirroring my phone screen inside immersed… I’m not sure what could be the problem with the android app.
The quest browser works, but it depends on what type of vr web application you’re trying to access. Are you trying to see videos in vr or use web based vr apps?
@@SamuelProcopio ah. You would need some web app to give you an environment like bigscreen or something. But bigscreen doesn’t need a PC, you can store files locally on your headset or stream directly to it.
If you’re looking for streaming let’s say Netflix or some other service in a theater setting then I would recommend Fluid. Look for it in app lab. It’s completely browser based
@@samsass1 For collaboration with others yes. For everything else NO. But Virtual desktop is better in all the other areas hands down. If you’re just looking to see your screens virtual desktop is S tier.
@@TheConstruct_VR Thank you for you reply. What are your thoughts about The Spatial app for Q3. I am looking for a way to stick apps in my home environment
@@samsass1 love it. It’s great Here’s the video I did on it. th-cam.com/video/rhChzCt5kFU/w-d-xo.html Also look at videos on the channel about Fluid when it comes to workspace apps. I’ll be doing another one shortly but it’s a DECENT app only browser based but they’re doing cool things over there.
Me too! I think same, but really really i would lo ve that we can upload our own enriromenets from blender, with that the people said??? Virtual what?? Horizon what???
This is definitely outdated now because the devs have now deprecated using physical monitors, forcing users to disconnect their already physically connected monitors. It makes it a bit more cumbersome of a setup but I can see some good use cases out of it if you want to keep your space clean.
That’s rough. I haven’t used this one in a while virtual desktop seems easier to spin up when I need to use a machine really quick. So you can only have one physical monitor or it breaks?
@@TheConstruct_VR You can't connect if you have more than one physical monitor connected to your pc. I paid for this, THEN realized it.. I feel kind of scammed by the devs.
You have to invest in a good 3rd party head strap. And the lenses are SO much clearer on the quest 3. Check out the headstap in the kiwi design video here on the channel. You’ll need the extra battery life for immersed. And the Bobo VR m3 or s3 are super comfortable too. Thanks for watching👊🏽
The app could be fantastic, but the decision to remove support for multiple real-life monitors is baffling. Now, you’re forced to unplug every monitor except one for it to work at all, which seriously ruins the experience.
My problem with immersed is the lag of mouse and keyboard and moving the screens…it makes working with any office suite a real pain … besides that, I agree with you, it’s a great app…
Yeah make sure your network is top notch or try the USB direct mode. I almost tossed out immersed because of lag issues. I’m glad I gave it another shot. Are you far away from the pc/Mac you’re mirroring? Or is your mouse connected to your headset?
Hahah. There’s just so much functionality already here! It even has telepresence… so multiple people with headsets can work in a digital space together! I hope Apple adds to this with their top notch hardware but they have to get us a consumer level device first.
Yeah I mentioned Fluid in the Spatial Computing video! I love it. It’s completely browser based but very cool features there. Screen clarity is impressive
Immersed is good, but I'm a huge fan of virtual desktop. The stream quality is just say and night. I can play games with a decent quality with VD, while immersed just reduce the quality so much it makes ridiculously bad.
Virtual Desktop beats everything. It just doesn’t have the collaboration features that this has. If you don’t want multiple screens or shared workspaces then VD is as good as it gets. AND it passed your keyboard and mouse through to the remote machine. That team over there is killing it.
@@James-n5b8j wirelessly it’s effortlessly better screen quality. You can get crispy screens in immersed too by setting the resolution appropriately . But for example the clarity in virtual desktop was just great without me having to tinker with anything. I think both suffer when you make the screens too large and stretch out the pixels. USB in immersed is likely fine or just as good as VD. I think VD is better for other reasons outside of screen clarity. Like porting the mouse and keyboard connected to your headset back to the desktop. That alone makes virtual desktop a better wireless choice, if that’s your need.
I thought the Collaboration Rooms in Immersed let you have a "stylus" you can use to write on a board with in VR during a meeting, no? Maybe this guy hasn't been able to review all of what Immersed has to offer? I do not feel like Horizon Workrooms is even CLOSE to what Immersed does. Immersed is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than Horizon workrooms IMO. Then again, I am Windows PC. Not Mac. So that probably explains a LOT of why I amgetting better features/experiences I am getting over Horizon Workrooms.
@@TriMuXx hey there. Are you comparing it to current workrooms or before the downgrade? I was comparing it to all the features before the downgrade. Check it out here: “You should see Horizon Workrooms.. before the 5/30/24 downgrade” th-cam.com/video/DbSPCTl2B1o/w-d-xo.html Yes you can draw on a white board in immersed, I just didn’t cover it in the video. I’m still getting the hang of being as thorough as possible in my coverage. I would argue that it wasn’t as nice as workrooms pre-downgrade. In the end my sentiment was that Immersed it quite a bit better. Not sure why that didn’t come across. Thanks for watching!
Or use Virtual desktop, t'en times better. The reason is simple, if people have multiple monitors identified, they don't need the pro subscription to get tons of screens. It's called greed
Gamifying something is NOT a good thing!!!! It's horrible in general and more so when it's a productivity app. On top of that, subscription models suck even more. I was excited for Immersed.. but now?????? I just don't now know.. those two things are giving me a very bad taste in my mouth. As to your videos: If you actually use these workspace apps to work with, PLEASE PLEASE show us an actual workflow. I have yet to find a single video where someone is actually working with them. Everyone is just demoing features like you..... and its highly annoying.
I think the gamification is the only way out. People need to make money for their app or get data from your usage and offer it for free”free” Otherwise you’re just supporting an app for free with no profit. I think apps that use our usage data as currency have conditioned us to expect things for free. There’s not many places for developers to turn. As I mentioned, good point maybe I’ll do a workflow livestream. 🤷🏽♂️ wasn’t aware people would watch that sort of thing

No it works wirelessly. Try that first then if you feel you need more performance or less battery drain go for the cable method
The problem with the mouse is because you must desactivate the option that mouse touch on settings of the app on visor
Thanks!!! I figured it out eventually. I still prefer how the mouse behaves natively rather than through immersed.
wow its gamified and it enables me to pay! awesome!
Yeah not everyone loves gamification but I feel like they covered both sides. Either you pay to keep the features or use it and get the features anyway. It’s up to the user on how they want to engage with it. Not a bad move in my opinion!
Brilliant Thank you!
Happy to hear it helped!!
If a third party app can achieve this on the quest, I wonder why Apple decided not to do this in their bundled feature even though they claim the Vision Pro is powerful enough on processing power and “pro” user really want this cos that how they work.
Yes! I wondered the same. Honestly I think we got an over priced, over engineered dev kit with the Apple Vision Pro. It’s amazing and it can CERTAINLY do this with all that tech packed into the headset but they’re polishing it after release. Immersed is available for Apple Vision Pro too so perhaps there’s no rush.
But I’m fine with this experience at $3000 less for sure. 😁
Bro, can I follow you in horizon worlds? I'm working with some cool cats into scripting and world building.
They're big time. The VR space is a lot easier to network than anything I've ever experienced before. Do you have any worlds built out there in horizon worlds?
Hey I haven’t gotten into building. I am a software engineer by trade though so that sounds interesting I’m on Meta as @TheConstructVR
@@TheConstruct_VR Bet Jason Bro. Follow back then we can hit one another up whenever we're in horizon worlds. Big plans ahead.
See you there?
@@affiliatepowersource3955 right on. Yep see you in the Metaverse
I wish i could get it towork with my s23 for photography
Hmm I guess the only way that would work is to get Linux running on it… but then you wouldn’t have the apps that run on android. There’s no mobile streamer for android.
@@TheConstruct_VRWhen I initially set it up it actually did work and displayed the phone for about 20 seconds before the app crashed on the quest. After that it wouldn't connect anymore
@@ct1freak interesting I wonder if where the bottleneck is… the network capability of the phone or the app on the quest 🤔
What type of photography work do you do on the S23?
@@TheConstruct_VR idk but Inwosh I could figure it out. Been doing light painting and astrophotography and wanted to be able to remotely view it while tracing images in vr
@@ct1freak yeah totally lame it stopped working. I was able to get my iPhone to work but it’s only mirroring my phone screen inside immersed… I’m not sure what could be the problem with the android app.
Can I connect it with type c ?
@@MedoleFilms yes it does have a usb mode /wired mode last time I was in there
@@MedoleFilms but meta also has an hdmi link prototype app that you may want to take a look at.
@@TheConstruct_VR how does it called?

Hi, do you know any web browser I can use as VR? Not needing to connect to a pc?
The quest browser works, but it depends on what type of vr web application you’re trying to access. Are you trying to see videos in vr or use web based vr apps?
@@TheConstruct_VR hello, I mean a Web Browser that simulate a Theater, like on BigScreen or Virtual Desktop, but we need to connect to a pc to see it
@@SamuelProcopio ah. You would need some web app to give you an environment like bigscreen or something. But bigscreen doesn’t need a PC, you can store files locally on your headset or stream directly to it.
If you’re looking for streaming let’s say Netflix or some other service in a theater setting then I would recommend Fluid. Look for it in app lab. It’s completely browser based
@@TheConstruct_VR yes, I use BigScreen, but we can't use website
is it better than Virtual Desktop ???
@@samsass1 For collaboration with others yes. For everything else NO. But Virtual desktop is better in all the other areas hands down. If you’re just looking to see your screens virtual desktop is S tier.
@@TheConstruct_VR Thank you for you reply. What are your thoughts about The Spatial app for Q3. I am looking for a way to stick apps in my home environment
@@samsass1 love it. It’s great Here’s the video I did on it.
th-cam.com/video/rhChzCt5kFU/w-d-xo.html
Also look at videos on the channel about Fluid when it comes to workspace apps. I’ll be doing another one shortly but it’s a DECENT app only browser based but they’re doing cool things over there.
Me too! I think same, but really really i would lo ve that we can upload our own enriromenets from blender, with that the people said??? Virtual what?? Horizon what???
Yeah it’s a solid app. Custom environments will likely come. We have to be happy with 360 photos for now. Thanks for watching bro
This is definitely outdated now because the devs have now deprecated using physical monitors, forcing users to disconnect their already physically connected monitors. It makes it a bit more cumbersome of a setup but I can see some good use cases out of it if you want to keep your space clean.
That’s rough. I haven’t used this one in a while virtual desktop seems easier to spin up when I need to use a machine really quick. So you can only have one physical monitor or it breaks?
@@TheConstruct_VR You can't connect if you have more than one physical monitor connected to your pc. I paid for this, THEN realized it.. I feel kind of scammed by the devs.
@@HoverCatzMeow yeah I’m saddened by this change. I can help but feel like they are limiting. the quest app in favor of their own device. 🤷🏽♂️
Love the idea but Immersed, if you're reading this it needs a UI overhaul.
Yeah I hope the additional attention around spatial computing will bring that forward.
Awesome Video Salute 🫡
Used to use this with quest 2 and it was giving me a headache. The quest, not immersed. I just ordered a quest 3 and I'll give this another shot!
You have to invest in a good 3rd party head strap. And the lenses are SO much clearer on the quest 3. Check out the headstap in the kiwi design video here on the channel. You’ll need the extra battery life for immersed.
And the Bobo VR m3 or s3 are super comfortable too. Thanks for watching👊🏽
they need way more rooms for single use case
I think there’s a lot of environments but most are locked behind the paywall / gamification
Folks tell you you kinda look like Ja Rule? I dig Immersed. It's a lot more flexible than the alternatives.
Yep all the time. It’s weird that it happens more now than when he was more famous. lol
U got a platform now. More people see your face. In my comments folks say I look like Xzibit & sound like 3 Dog from Fallout.
@@DigThat32 true but it happens in public too. I think the internet is to blame. Hahaha as with most things. 3 dog! I love it hahaha
Love the long form content on your channel! I want to do some of that here as well
@@TheConstruct_VR Salute! The world is yours..make it happen Capn'
The app could be fantastic, but the decision to remove support for multiple real-life monitors is baffling. Now, you’re forced to unplug every monitor except one for it to work at all, which seriously ruins the experience.
My problem with immersed is the lag of mouse and keyboard and moving the screens…it makes working with any office suite a real pain … besides that, I agree with you, it’s a great app…
Yeah make sure your network is top notch or try the USB direct mode. I almost tossed out immersed because of lag issues. I’m glad I gave it another shot.
Are you far away from the pc/Mac you’re mirroring? Or is your mouse connected to your headset?
Why not just have a proper passthrough through the keyboard and workspace like the horizons workroom can
Much better than vision pro
Hahah. There’s just so much functionality already here! It even has telepresence… so multiple people with headsets can work in a digital space together!
I hope Apple adds to this with their top notch hardware but they have to get us a consumer level device first.
You have light mode on quest. You’ve got to be shitting me 😂
Hahahahaha I switched it for this video it’s been on dark mode since launch and I thought … hmm let’s blind myself for a bit
Check out fluid
Yeah I mentioned Fluid in the Spatial Computing video! I love it. It’s completely browser based but very cool features there. Screen clarity is impressive
Immersed is good, but I'm a huge fan of virtual desktop. The stream quality is just say and night. I can play games with a decent quality with VD, while immersed just reduce the quality so much it makes ridiculously bad.
Virtual Desktop beats everything. It just doesn’t have the collaboration features that this has. If you don’t want multiple screens or shared workspaces then VD is as good as it gets. AND it passed your keyboard and mouse through to the remote machine. That team over there is killing it.
@@TheConstruct_VRcan you confirm the quality is that much better? I find it hard to believe. I run immersed through usb.
@@James-n5b8j wirelessly it’s effortlessly better screen quality. You can get crispy screens in immersed too by setting the resolution appropriately . But for example the clarity in virtual desktop was just great without me having to tinker with anything. I think both suffer when you make the screens too large and stretch out the pixels.
USB in immersed is likely fine or just as good as VD. I think VD is better for other reasons outside of screen clarity. Like porting the mouse and keyboard connected to your headset back to the desktop. That alone makes virtual desktop a better wireless choice, if that’s your need.
Immersed is targeting a different user base than VD. It's all about productivity with no focus on gaming.
Virtual Desktop is excellent, but as far as working is concerned, would love if they just added multiple screen support!
I thought the Collaboration Rooms in Immersed let you have a "stylus" you can use to write on a board with in VR during a meeting, no? Maybe this guy hasn't been able to review all of what Immersed has to offer?
I do not feel like Horizon Workrooms is even CLOSE to what Immersed does. Immersed is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than Horizon workrooms IMO. Then again, I am Windows PC. Not Mac. So that probably explains a LOT of why I amgetting better features/experiences I am getting over Horizon Workrooms.
@@TriMuXx hey there. Are you comparing it to current workrooms or before the downgrade? I was comparing it to all the features before the downgrade.
Check it out here:
“You should see Horizon Workrooms.. before the 5/30/24 downgrade”
th-cam.com/video/DbSPCTl2B1o/w-d-xo.html
Yes you can draw on a white board in immersed, I just didn’t cover it in the video. I’m still getting the hang of being as thorough as possible in my coverage. I would argue that it wasn’t as nice as workrooms pre-downgrade.
In the end my sentiment was that Immersed it quite a bit better. Not sure why that didn’t come across. Thanks for watching!
Can you send me some money so I can buy a meta quest device?
I cannot.
Awful program. Uninstalled pretty much straight away. Virtual Desktop is far better.
I swear to God, I thought she was Ja Rule
lol. These comments had slowed down a bit. They come in waves 😅
If you have a dual monitor setup, this app is total garbage now.
I heard that recently. That sucks. . . Have you tried virtual desktop beta?
Just unplug one. Not sure why they did that though
Or use Virtual desktop, t'en times better. The reason is simple, if people have multiple monitors identified, they don't need the pro subscription to get tons of screens. It's called greed
@spacearchitecture3606 pro is free after a few days but I'll try virtual desktop again
Gamifying something is NOT a good thing!!!! It's horrible in general and more so when it's a productivity app. On top of that, subscription models suck even more.
I was excited for Immersed.. but now?????? I just don't now know.. those two things are giving me a very bad taste in my mouth.
As to your videos: If you actually use these workspace apps to work with, PLEASE PLEASE show us an actual workflow. I have yet to find a single video where someone is actually working with them. Everyone is just demoing features like you..... and its highly annoying.
I think the gamification is the only way out. People need to make money for their app or get data from your usage and offer it for free”free”
Otherwise you’re just supporting an app for free with no profit. I think apps that use our usage data as currency have conditioned us to expect things for free. There’s not many places for developers to turn.
As I mentioned, good point maybe I’ll do a workflow livestream. 🤷🏽♂️ wasn’t aware people would watch that sort of thing
