It's possible to watch videos but I have seen large decreases in frame rate from time to time. I've been getting latency of around 5ms to 15ms, but every minute or so there are some frustrating 1-5 second hiccups. It didn't seem to get particularly tiring over that time. I think I used this setup for around 5 working hours on Wednesday, 6 on Thursday, and maybe 2 so far today (but it's still early). Me browsing LessWrong in the Spaceship area. I typically have the main screen a bit closer to me, but zoomed it out to make this image more interesting. I have a second screen on the right, but I'm not using it at the moment.
You can have up to five "virtual" monitors with Immersed, but I prefer one or two big ones. It's suggested to keep resolutions rather low both because the Oculus Quest 2 doesn't itself have a high resolution (1832×1920 per eye), and because higher resolution means higher latency. In the app I use two "monitors" I downscale a 4K monitor to 2048x1280 and use a side monitor of 1920x1080. My router is around 15 feet away from my headset, and my computer is connected directly to the router via Ethernet. My specific setup is an Oculus Quest 2 ($300), a 2016 Macbook Pro, and the application Immersed VR. It strikes me as surprisingly possible that within 2 to 5 years, VR work setups will be the generally recommended work setups, at least for "people in the know." This could both lead to direct improvements and lead the way for radical rethinkings of what work setups are possible. The VR ecosystem seems to be improving much more quickly than the alternatives. I'm fairly convinced that there's an extremely promising future for work in VR. I've given demos to a few people in my house who haven't been close to VR and their responses varied from fairly impressed to incredibly impressed. I've used to dream of similar setups and it's really cool that the technology is basically there. This feels like the most radical experiment I've made to my setup so far, so I'm quite happy with how it's worked out. The upper end is for people who get distracted easily or have a difficult time with SAD. My guess is that it's not good for most people yet, but that 1 to 10% of people reading this would gain a 2 to 20% increase in computer productivity by using a VR working setup.
For the past three days, I started experimenting with working in Virtual Reality.
