Here’s a screenshot of what I have so far.
Everything that is black is the passthrough, i.e. a low rez b+w image of the physical room. The passthrough is not captured in the screenshot.
I am having trouble using the Oculus with glasses. If everything is just so, it works fine, nice and crisp. Until the goggle slips or it starts getting sweaty in there and my glasses start to fog even a little. Not sure how to solve that, maybe wear contacts or learn to adjust the strap better or get the fan accessory.
The virtual screens are readable. Not as good as the physical screen, but bring able to expand the virtual screen to the equivalent of a 50” TV helps. I can read the small font ticker data, my Excel sheet is legible, etc. I think there is a way to increase the render resolution of the Oculus too. You sure wouldn’t do any photo editing this way, but for spreadsheets and reading, I think it will be fine.
I am having trouble typing because i don’t know my laptop keyboard well, unlike my 101 key AT standard keyboard. I’ll plug in an extra Model M and mouse.
There is some lag. It isn’t bad, not irritating, but detectable. There is supposed to be a way to use WiFi Direct to connect the Oculus directly to the laptop and bypass the router and wireless AP.
I haven’t actually done any work yet. That will be the actual test. So far I’m just avoiding doing work.
