I have tried it. Working in VR is much better than I expected it would be, with the right equipment. Still, I quit after a while mainly because of the quality of text rendering. It is so much better than it used to be, but still not good enough, at least not for me.

I also found it surprisingly frustrating that I couldn’t see the keyboard. Every time I took my hands off it I had to do this blind search for it and get my fingers back to the right starting position. Symbols I don’t know how to touch type because they are rarely used was also more frustrating than I would have thought.

What headset did you try? I imagine that text rendering would improve with the quality of the screens, which have been getting better.

I used the Quest 2. It wasn’t just the hardware though, something about the software too. The “main” display was a reasonably sharp and almost retina like. But the other displays were unable to keep up with that level of quality. Not enough bandwidth? Video encoding or decoding CPU bound? Not sure what it was. This was using Immersed
