Current VR headsets don’t really produce text you’d want to read?
Yes they do. I currently have one that is perfectly fine readable.
Yeah, I can have multiple monitors in VR setting.
But what hasn't happened is
1 - No one has made an app with a camera passthrough window to your desk.
2 - Windows for some reason still has a problem with multi-monitors unless you actually physically have monitors mounted.
There are a whole bunch of AR glasses and even some portable VR headset window managers that have pass through. SimulaVR has a webcam window but I don't have the hardware to properly try it out, sadly.
The VR screens I've used were all perfectly fine for an hour or so of gameplay, but focusing on text wouldn't be a good experience.
Most of these applications don't even use "monitors", they just render Windows in a 3D space. Virtual monitors can work on Windows, but they need a dummy driver for various reasons (many of them having to do with compatibility).
Didn't the Quest Pro do that? I think AR virtual monitors on Mac was a thing they showcased.
it'll be a cold day in hell before I strap facebook to my body.
Well, with climate change ...
