So.. it's fine. But it's not better than a monitor.
Thank you! Finally a direct answer from someone in the trenches. Shame, I have high hopes for the Pico 5! :)
But yeah I heard of the budget cuts too. May not happen now
Ps: based on rumours and it may not happen due to the budget cuts at pico now
We're probably 3 to 4 generations away from having resolution equivalence for this use case.
iFixit said AVP averages 34 PPD. The pixels aren’t dense enough I can’t tell if they’re uniform or if (like most other headsets) they are denser in the center and more sparse at the edges
The AVP’s weight and nauseating passthrough negate its benefits. I couldn’t tolerate mine for more than 20 minutes.
It’s too blurry (Mac Virtual Display), and too limiting compared to external monitors. Maybe it’s better than just the laptop screen but I’m not sold on even that. Either way it can’t come close to replacing my monitors, maybe v2 or v3 will and I’ll reevaluate then, for now, it’s going back.
