It was just for viewing I believe so you paired it with your editor and deployed to it to test your builds. I was imaging deploying directly to your headset but you can do that with wireless ADB

Yeah I don't disagree I just make workflows that make sense for me, I used to really like using the HoloLens 2 to pin apps around my monitor so I could do stuff like slack on my wall lt spotify. The magic leap was cool for that too.

Like the old Unity mobile app?

Either, you have an insane amount of control. I recommend getting virtual desktop. A keyboard and mouse just works with the OS as well, you can just use browsers and work locally but I find I need more compute. Just depends if you want a screen that close to your eyes while you work.

It sucks if you don't use a Bluetooth keyboard but i don't find any different typing in vr with a keyboard.

The digital keyboards suck.. I like xylophone style keyboards in xr haha

I wanted to copy and paste a lot. You can do this via virtual desktop. Is it practical? Not always but not everything I do makes sense.

Yeah but I was working on documents and just wanted like 5 screens. It is fun for sitting on the sofa but I don't recommend for anything long. Quest pro is fine with the latest update for this. I'm trying to use the pro as my “work” device and my 3 as my portable device. 3s is my games device haha.

My office today haha

Streaming the Xbox to the quest is fun but weird when you're sitting right in front of the projector haha.

Don’t forget to check on your Oculus Gos to make sure their batteries are still good

The original quest still feels good today.. just bigger.

Working on getting this Meta headset up and running

My kit today for my workshops at the college here.

Legit the most fun I've had on my quest 3 in a while

Updating the HoloLens, I've got holograms to peep

The best way to play Doom

My girls got me a Pac-Man donut <3
