Immersed - the VR/AR professinal workspace platform - is going public
According to the press release in Global Newswire - Immersed is going public through a merger with Maquia Capital Acquisition Corp.
This is exciting news for us long-time users of the platform, as this will bring the capital needed to move forward with their planned AR Glasses, named Visor, and an AI initiative that is yet to be publicly presented that apparently is named or code-named Curator.
Disclosure: I am one of the people who work over 30 hours a week in the platform.
I look forward to the day I can get rid of my physical displays
I already did and love it! But definitely looking forward to lighter and higher resolution HMDs, I'll get the Quest 3 next, but hopefully for next year I can go with the AR glasses if they are as good as the Q3, even if a bit pricier, just for the convenience and comfort.
Immersed is developing their own HMD. That's probably why they're going public. That development is going to be expensive without backers.
I really hope they pull it off. I want multiple virtual monitors in a small physical space where that'd otherwise be impossible.
I use immersed daily with a quest pro for work and i really like it. I don't think i would get one of these since i also play a lot of vr games wich this headset can't do. I'm sure some people would be interested in it but i think it needs to be compatible with virtual desktop since the immersed software isn't as good as virtual desktop for single display tasks or flatscreen games.
I really love working from Immersed, even with the Quest 2, but I do hope future HMDs will be lighter and more comfortable, but I understand that not everybody would enjoy working from VR or AR headsets.
In my case I work from home, and this is such a space saver, I work with virtual giant monitors that there is no way at all for me to place at home, plus the cost would be prohibitive.
Have you tried modern HMD's? There's nothing currently on the market that I would use as a daily driver, though this looks like it could have the specs to make that a possibility for me. I personally have been wanting this use case every since I first tried VR.
I look forward to the day I can get rid of my physical displays.
I have a Valve Index, and while I know it's not top-of-the-line anymore, it's a pretty nice hmd. However, as much as I'd like to ditch my physical monitors, the screens just aren't high enough res for that. Additionally, if you like playing non-vr games like I do, VR adds additional overhead that decreases the game's performance.
From what I've seen, Apple's new headset looks like the only one that'd really have the resolution to replace physical monitors, and because it has its own built-in processor, it means you could run games, blender, davinci resolve, etc on your PC while your VR environment gets rendered on the headset. However, it's expensive as fuck and I can't see consumer-targeted devices coming out with similar specs for a while.
I haven’t, and to be honest, I’m not interested. I don’t even wear my glasses because they drive me nuts being there. There’s no way I’d even entertain wearing a headset all day.
