Why You Should Start Working in VR - Meta Horizon Workrooms Walkthrough 

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words!

Cheers! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ruyMJh-ZvcM.htmlsi=do6CzRArhvBpxWJ7

That is a sign your ipd isn't set right. If it is then next question is do you wear glasses? If you do then you need to have your glasses or prescription lenses. Yes especially of you are near sighted. But having spent thousands of hours in VR and never felt strain (except with a headset that could not get my ipd right).

VR can potentially cause eye strain for some individuals, but it's not inherent to VR technology itself. Eye strain can occur due to a few reasons: 1. **Motion sickness:** If your VR experience causes motion sickness, it can indirectly lead to eye discomfort. 2. **Low refresh rates:** Some older or less advanced VR systems may have lower refresh rates, which can contribute to eye strain. To prevent eye strain in VR: 1. Adjust settings: Ensure your VR headset is correctly calibrated, and the interpupillary distance (IPD) is set to match your eyes. 2. Maintain proper lighting: Avoid excessive glare or too much brightness in your VR environment. 3. Use quality equipment: Higher-quality VR headsets often have better displays and refresh rates, which can reduce eye strain. 4. Stay hydrated: Keeping your eyes hydrated is important, so drink enough water. 5. Limit usage: Don't spend excessive hours in VR; take regular breaks to rest your eyes. If you experience severe eye strain, discomfort, or any adverse symptoms while using VR, it's essential to discontinue use and consult with an eye care professional.

Totally! So it’s possible to have up to 2 virtual displays along with your laptop monitor, so in theory you could have one monitor that’s your timeline, one that’s just video playback, and one that has your media bin. They only caveat I can see here is the fact that Workrooms needs you to establish your desk first and I’m not sure if there’s a workaround this (maybe using a plane tray table with suffice?) alternatively you could try the app Immersed VR which isn’t quite as slick as Workrooms but allows for a lot more customization, but if you just plan on editing in Cafes or hotel rooms than it totally works

Hmmm that’s a really good question. I doubt you’ll be able to use Workrooms as Meta has a walled garden around it, but it might be possible with an app like Immersed!

I agree, would love to try the Q3 with pass through - however there is something very clearly dystopian about using VR to escape corporate fluorescent lights lol

Picture quality is good! If whatever you’re doing doesn’t require pixel peeping too much then it’s totally doable. Comfort is more of a consideration for me

Good idea! I've thought about doing that - how do you attach the battery pack to the headset?

@@robnjk But yeah I cant stress enough how big of a difference it makes...from unbearable at some point to no problem at all

@@robnjk Get the BoboVR M2 - it's a great quality head strap and the "snap" the battery makes when put the battery in makes you feel like you're reloading yourself as some cyberpunk android! Feel awesome and stay charged!

I’ve never found the FOV to kill immersion. One thing I was surprised about when I got my Quest 2 was the cone of clarity in the middle of the lenses. Just beyond the centre of the lenses, you can see a noticeable drop in resolution (in your peripheral vision). My guess is to keep processing power down. I believe this isn’t an issue with the Quest Pro because of the eye tracking - if you can get a good deal on a Quest 2, then it might be worth going for it because I’ve had a lot of fun with mine, but I wouldn’t buy one for full retail price at this stage

I'd honestly hold off until the quest 3 comes out in Oct/Nov

@@robnjk I think that's mainly because VR headsets use fresnel lenses which helps keep the weight and price down. (otherwise we may have two fish eye lenses instead) =D

​@PattonProductions2023 it will have the same fov. But other things will be better. Especially pass through

Lemme know what you think!

I’ll have a video coming out on immersed! I’ve used it a fair bit and it certainly solves some of the issues I’ve had with Workrooms but also has its downsides

You’re welcome!

@@robnjk So my work hasn't enabled the fancy new Teams Avatars, so does the Workrooms still link to Teams or is it a bit meh?

When I’m using pass through it works great!

The MacBook doesn’t matter! It’s just an app it runs

@@robnjk thanks

Not 6+ hours straight. You should be taking regular breaks to prevent eye strain and honestly, I’m not sure it would even be comfortable for multiple hours

What about watching Netflix or RU-vid . do you feel more eye strain using the vr or with a normal monitor?@@robnjk

You’re too kind! I come from a video production background and worked on another RU-vid channel for two years before starting my own

I don’t believe so. I think it’s Windows too

Depending on how you work - maybe not! There’s is a very slight lag when using Workrooms, so I might not want to edit inside vr for a long time because it requires very specific and intricate mouse placement, but if you plan on using it for admin type work than go nuts

@@robnjk true

Oh that’s very odd. Between the two softwares I’ve never noticed a difference in screen quality

Sadly it's only available on Windows and Mac right now

Yeah it’s rough tbh

Oh man, I have been looking for a video that will show exactly that and I haven't found on yet, ugh.

​@@Happy-nu2lk Exactly.

Here's a programmer working in VR for 30 days: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfplGxBO7G8.html

@@firagabird Thank you for the link. But even in that clip that says plainly of "working in VR", the guy himself are NOT really working in there, is he? Just goofing around, like any other youtuber who claims one can really do office works in there.

haha agree tho

Except me :(

Wrong. I use VR since 2014..

@@theloner6063 cool story bro. Nice discussion point.

I don’t like doing work :(

Aww dang Tommy. Well a good day too you too

Yeah dang I wish there was a word for an app that you can download without paying money 🤷‍♂️

:(
