I am a technology founder from Canada. I spend a lot of time doing weird projects and talking about stuff that doesn’t make sense. I’m just a poorly rendered human in a digital world. bsdxr.com

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.

It is the best possible situation… on paper. The device sucks from a support perspective and the lanes are meh. It also is difficult to develop for becuase the underlying shit isn’t fully baked. They being said from an open use and vision perspective it NEEDS to exist in my opinion.
