Interesting. Anybody out there been able to do this with a Quest 3?


There are a couple of ways to do it, but I'm not sure which is best.

you can install an app on OSX that allows you to do a passthrough, but the last time I used it horizon was called workrooms.

On windows you can use the official oculus app to use your local gfx card to render graphics. THat gives you really smooth graphics at much better fidelity.

my colleague used vrdesktop to get more screen estate.

For me the screens on the O3 aren't high enough resolution, I can see the gaps between pixels, which means less dense text.


I did it, it’s possible.

It’s also a terrible experience. Pixelated. Laggy. Can’t see where the keyboard is… it’s half baked.

I can work max one hour then I give up.


Weirdly, the experience with Virtual Desktop on the Quest 3 is fast, high resolution, clean, and all that wireless on WiFi 7.


The resolution but specially the pass through is what kills it for me.

Fix those and I am a buyer, at any price.


Yeah, passthrough is pretty icky, for sure. I just take the headset off. It’s not good enough for passthrough.


i think the q3 and the avp have similar pixel density


The Apple Vision Pro has something like 23 million total pixels vs Quest 3 at 9.1 million total pixels. It's a pretty big difference.


The optics for the avp are noticably softer than quest3 https://kguttag.com/2024/03/01/apple-vision-pros-optics-blur...

so the screen resolution might be higher, the effective resolution is not so much.

The quest feels sharper for a lot of things. Apart from the rgb camera.

Either way, for me, they are both too lower resolution for useful text work. I can see the pixels and the size of the font I want starts to fall below the effective reolution.

I realise that this is not the case for a lot of people though


I tried with a Quest Pro and did not find it enjoyable at all. I have not tried the latest Galaxy headset to compare.
