Quest 3 Productivity | You need to revisit Horizon Workrooms in 2024!

In this video I do a deep dive into the features of Meta Horizon Workrooms. This needs to be revisited in 2024! It had a rocky start but with may bugs ironed out and the explosive interest in spatial computing thanks to the Apple Vision Pro, we need to take another look at what's available today. Meta Horizon Workrooms is an excellent tool for individual and team productivity. You may have issues with Meta as a service provider but this is a great example of how a tool built with teams and productivity in mind should perform. I'd love to see something like this in the Apple ecosystem as well. You'll see this app solves many of the problems with meeting virtually and goes beyond just sharing your screen with your teammates. I was blown away at how useful Workrooms is in its Beta state. even if the Beta is 3 years old hahah. Have a look for yourself in the video. Grab a snack this is a longer one.
As always. Thanks for watching.

Have I just been under a rock and people are actually using this? Do you use it? If you don’t why not?

@evolvingcreativity 2 ай бұрын

I have tried to use it, but the issue for me is the monitors are too small and too far away to do real work when working a your workstation desk, even with the new Quest 3. The conference room only supports 1 monitor and has the best screen distance and screen size. I can say that State Government have no future plans to use VR for conferencing. I will use the web browser to do most of my personal work projects using website apps since I can adjust the size and have multiple screens. Immersed has a better screens but the free version is still does not have a high enough resolution to do real work.

@TheConstruct_VR 2 ай бұрын

@@evolvingcreativity yeah I was bummed to see the paywalls in immersed. But a agree with the screen resolutions/ size. Everyone’s eye sight varies so being able to adjust it is mandatory at this point. For me it’s still a comfort thing. The only reason I would deal with the comfort issue is to collaborate with people I wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to.

@TheWavys 2 ай бұрын

No people don't actually use it because it's simply not there yet. I was just as excited when I first jumped in as you, but it's more of a gimmick right now. Trying to legitimately get work done in there doesn't make too much sense and you get eye strain after a short time. There's just enough latency to make it frustrating when really focused on real work. Let alone they haven't truly updated it at all since launch a couple years ago. No new environments or anything. Like really ask yourself why you would truly choose this over a laptop after the first 15 mins wears off. For me, if they had tons of incredible environments i'd at least have that reason to wanna put on the headset. It would be peaceful to work in places that give all types of unique vibes you could only achieve in VR but no......just 2 basic as hell office spaces that don't look too far off from a real boring ass office space lol. Idk I just wish they pushed this app further to give me a real reason to wanna work in VR.

@TheConstruct_VR 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I hear you. Comfort and “The Why” are huge hills to get over for this. Once’s it’s a simple as putting on a pair of glasses I think it will make sense, in the same way video conferencing has become almost normal now. This may take 20 years but yeah we’re not quite there yet. With that said… it won’t stop me from trying to use this even if I invite some non vr users to join from desktop. Just for the thrill of it. Hahah. Thanks for watching 🤜🤛

Great job putting that video together, excellent commentary. For me the key is using VR headsets not linked by computer desktop. The meta browser with its three window capacity and pass through to see my keyboard let me work on my Microsoft Apps and Acrobat, linked to virtual drives iCloud, onedrive, and Google Drive. Leave our computers out of it and use VR headsets for both cloud and spatial computing.

We can see where we want to go but we’re still using coal and steam and haven’t quite figured out petroleum yet. I think we’ll get there. The Apple Vision Pro while overpriced and over engineered for the consumer.. has the right idea… it has to fit on our face and be more powerful than a laptop.

@t.m.guyerandayersfriendspc2050 2 ай бұрын

Like a new pair of shoes or bicycle seat, you just have to get used to it on your face. Only adults complain about this not kids, and with adults it's the productivity users not the gamers. Kids and gamers are emotionally driven and would no more let this discomfort slow them down than not skateboarding because you fall down. We productivity users unlike kids and gamers engage in analysis of comparative advantage or disadvantage from sitting at a desk and keyboard. I can now go six hours a day under the hood in two three 3 hour sessions. I open all three windows in Meta Browser and run the same prompts simultaneously on ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Meta browser bookmarking is fabulous and lets you load up any online app you need, and I emphasize that any app that is now not cloud based is probably antiquated. In the last three months Meta has made Quest 3 mostly functional on airplanes, and I worked for seven hours on my flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles today under the hood logged onto the airplane Wi-Fi. 90 days ago on my flight there it would not do that. The fixes and enhancements are coming fast. VR harnesses cloud computing to spatial computing-and is uniquely well suited to AI applications. This is the future of our knowledge workforce.

I've always loved workrooms integration on quest. It remembers office space between sessions and is often very accurate. My only use case for it is the personal workspace. . But the latency, audio quality and screen resolution is just not something I can use for my line of work (motion design). What I love is the desk cutout, makes you feel like you sit in a different space without actually doing so, and that it's desk accurate is very important. Alot of working apps does have home enviroments but it's only an environment with a cutout. It's super odd sitting on a couch in VR with a keyboard cutout of your desk. Mismatch is off-putting. My go-to is Virtual Desktop latency, audio quailty and screen resolution beats Immersed, beats workrooms, beats everything. And multiple monitors is just around the corner🤞the only downside is that it's not a workfocused app like the others.

@TheConstruct_VR 2 ай бұрын

Yes Virtual desktop is the one app to rule them all. Someone in the comments mentioned you can turn up the resolution scale of the machine you’re mirroring. That doesn’t solve everything though. Workrooms is robust. I hope it moves forward and becomes easier and more comfortable to use. I’m going to try the resolution scale thing but for now I’m like you.. Virtual Desktop for the win!

There's some kind of 'streak' system where you get Pro for free if you use it for a few days a week. Also, using BetterDisplay I can bypass the resolution limits etc.

From the video i cant really read the screen. I know reading on my quest 2 is pretty bad. I was blown away by avp but still found it hard to read for over two hours. How does quest 3 compare? Can i do 2-3 hour work sessions using this set up?

@TheConstruct_VR 16 күн бұрын

Oh man! The quest 3 lenses are 110% better in clarity. The key is the head strap, especially for the AVp and its weight.

There’s a web dashboard or sorts that has chat and files you can export whiteboards as PNGS (or maybe it was JPEGS) and share files there.

One thing that put me off Horizon Workrooms (compared to alternatives) was that their support for Windows was sub par compared to what they offered for OSX. I couldn't make extra virtual screens on windows at all for example. I use virtual screens ALOT for work and currently immersed is my go to just because of how flexible it is but it frustrates me that Meta don't have a seriously competative offering by default. I truly believe virtual monitors are the future and as hardware gets smaller (think rayban style glasses able to do this) i'd hope that Meta puts more effort into delivering the best experience instead of relying on third party devs to fill the gaps.

@TheConstruct_VR Ай бұрын

This looks heavy but it’s not it’s mostly plastic. The after market head strap I’m using looks big but that’s to better distribute the already light weight. It feels like wearing a large hat. Yes you can set the windows to where you need them to keep your ergonomics. I was doing a horrible job on this video. But you can adjust position. Heat never really was a thing. This app isn’t pushing the headset too much. So the headset itself didn’t really heat up like it does on some graphic intense games. I’m the end I feel like it’s better for short sprints of work. I feel like eye strain will hit before anything else does. Thanks for watching.!

I wanted to promote this to my co workers but it is not available in Australia. Also there is no indication of price once it leaves beta. Obviously this is for business use so there will likely be subscription fee. But it does look promising if the price is right, just wondering what the desktop experience is like for those who don't like VR. Can they move to a seat? Do they have white board and screen share.

@TheConstruct_VR 2 ай бұрын

I know they can share screen or choose to look at the view that best shows the whiteboard. I’m not sure about seat changes and actually adding to the whiteboard. It was kind of hard to do both at once. I’ll give it a shot and let you know. I want to be able to have this as an option at work too!! WebEx is so boring. But getting entire teams to adopt would be hard, so making sure not headset users can get a good experience will be important for sure. There’s a quest for work site I saw that I thought had some prices for teams… looking for it now.
