Once resolution is high enough it will be compelling but imo Immersed is held back by current headset resolutions.

I used Immersed at length for two months and I had to stop from the frequency of eye fatigue and tiredness at shorter intervals than I currently experience with regular monitor work.

Until that happens I don’t see companies sending this out, not to mention things like motion sickness some people get even with low motion VR like immersed.



To be fair I had the same problem with Immersed (the fatigue) but luckily that's a hardware problem and not a software problem. In time I think the headsets will get good enough that it's not a problem for most people.


I agree I just think that horizon is more than 5 years, which means Immersed will have to float until then.

I do plan to give them another try though with this Quest Pro as I'd rather not have all my productivity software tied to Meta.
