Seriously, I actually read research papers (in PDF) in Quest 3's remote desktop. It was great. I was surprised that my recent laptop LG Gram 17 with 258V cpu can do VR so well. Intel did a good job.

hhmmm, I tried that on a Viture Luma recently, but returned it. I find it hard to see how reading on a VR headset can be more comfortable/productive than on a 2D monitor.

For routine reading my 4K monitor or iPad win every time. However, Quest 3 has its niche too. For instance, when sitting in my home office, feet on the desk to let my cat nap on my lap - a very awkward position to use my main monitor. A remote desktop in Quest 3 is surprisingly good for using laptop in this scenario, plus, I love seeing my napping cat right at the bottom center of my field of view with that fabulous *color* video passthrough of Quest 3.. 😀

note to myself:

I might have to get a cat first, or would a dog do?

Perhaps its eye tracking feature is an advantage at Fs2024 over the Meta Q3, when using Foveaut rendering.
