Anybody know how reading & desktop work on the Quest 2 compares to the original Oculus? I tried programming in the original Oculus years ago, but the low resolution was just too annoying... is it improved a good deal? (I know the resolution is higher, just wondering about the actual experience.)


I recently consulted as a VR programmer on a Quest 2. There is a built-in way to see your PC screens in the headset (I can't remember what it was called). I used the Oculus Link cable.

It worked and I could certainly program. But it was far from comfortable. The resolution is very noticeably worse than on my physical monitors. I don't know why OP's experience is so different. I suspect he's just willing to sacrifice crisp text for the coolness of the experience.


I’ve also used that feature and I’ve spent >10 hours working in Immersed - Immersed (and even another app called Virtual Desktop) absolutely is leagues above the built in experience.


This post is making me wonder if I did something wrong, but I hated the low resolution in the quest 2 for programming when I tried it.


Still not good enough, unfortunately. Anything below 18-ish point type is too difficult to read.
