It’s genuinely better than a 5k monitor.

In the recent update it now lets you mouse off your Mac and onto vision apps just like iPad hands over. It made me switch my desk setup to have the desk attached to my chair so I can have 360 range of screens. The resolution is stupidly high.

I’ve attempted a coding workflow in all of the quests and it just wasn’t possible. It’s awesome in vision

Does it require light to work? What about space? Could you e.g. work in a dark closet, as an extreme example?

Do those semi-realistic virtual avatars work for non-FaceTime apps like Zoom?

You can but you need IR lights for it to work

they do work for non-facetime

No. Works in the dark. The vision has IR lights on it.

No the personas aren’t right. They just creep people out. They need more work, or some basic editablity. It generally nails your eyes perfectly at the expense of everything else.

please take a picture of this setup

Unrelated-but-related -- your username is fantastically appropriate for this discussion. I'm imagining a website with the same name, filled with images of people whose headsets have permanently melted onto their faces, like a Dali painting :D

A swivel chair - with a desk across the arm rests. It’s not an impressive looking setup… outside of vr.

Wow - I am going to try that.

It takes time to absorb all the possibilities
