What happens when you\u2019re working away from your office, so you don\u2019t have your big desk and multiple large monitors with you?<\/p>\n
You could just use your laptop and make do. Or, you could buy a $1,499 Quest Pro, which Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says is built with work specifically in mind. Today, in Horizon Workrooms, Meta is adding a Personal Office feature, which lets you create your own custom slice of the metaverse to\u2026 work.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the best things VR is you can create environments that go beyond what\u2019s possible in the physical world,\u201d Zuckerberg said in the Meta Connect presentation today. \u201cOf course, that goes for productivity setups too, so you have instant access to your perfect workspace that\u2019s set up just how you want, no matter where you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
A similar app, Virtual Desktop, first became available on the Oculus Rift (RIP to Oculus branding) in 2016. So, the idea of bringing your computer into VR isn\u2019t exactly new. But from the brief glimpse we saw in today\u2019s presentation, it looks like Meta has elevated their idea a bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually, we think that your Quest could be the only monitor that you\u2019ll actually need,\u201d said Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth.<\/p>\n
No matter how advanced a virtual workspace gets, it\u2019s hard to imagine people using a VR headset to work eight-hour days. If people already suffer from eye strain and headaches from working at a computer (staring through my blue light glasses as I type this), will they really want to strap screens to their face? Still, Meta\u2019s executives are confident that this is the way forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s an opportunity for a VR headset designed from the ground up to be great for work, as well as playing games and hanging out,\u201d Zuckerberg said, before unveiling the Quest Pro, along with Meta\u2019s partnership with Microsoft.<\/p>\n
