Working in VR with the Meta Quest 3

Want to live in the future right now? Well at least the cool neat part of what the future holds... I'm not so sure about the general direction we are headed but when it comes to tech and computer advancements there is a lot of amazing stuff we are going to be able to do or can even do right now.

In this quick example video I show you how I am working these days using a Virtual Reality setup by taking advantage of what the Meta Quest 3 VR Headset can do using a piece of software called Immersed that simulates multiple computer monitors in Virtual Reality allowing me to use my MacBook Air without a physical external monitor and giving me up to 4 more virtual monitors which is something imposable for my MacBook to do in real life.

I have the choice of working in a Virtual Office space or be in my physical room using something called pass through that allows me by means of dual cameras on the Meta Quest 3 VR Glasses to use a mixed reality where I can see my actual office with Virtual Reality Monitors added in. It is hard to explain how good this all works and the video I show you is not even close to the real world Experience I get first hand.

I can also work in Virtual Reality alone or in a public space so I can feel like I am work along side others or by myself depending on how I want to work. You can communicate with other people in these public settings or decide to be in a private mode if you would rather have privacy and perhaps work a bit more productively.

Right now I am actually working in VR writing this article in my actual office using the pass through feature and the experience is amazing. There is a bit of a learning curve and you need to figure out a slightly different workflow, but for me it is 100% worth it as now I can take my office and 4 monitor setup anywhere I go as long as I have my MacBook and Meta Quest VR Headset.
