I'm not sold on eyes as a pointer just yet. The Quest Pro can do this and it does not feel great. Based on experience with a lot of other headsets:

No. Even if the ergonomics are perfect, the screens aren't good enough for this.

> Is text really crisp enough for productivity usage?

If they match the leaked resolution, no.

    Sadly no. I've used AR glasses that have double the pixels per degree than the Quest Pro (done by using a smaller FOV). It looks like 1080p on maybe a 32" desktop monitor. You can read but it's not a fun experience. Apple's version will depend on what FOV they use, but it's going to look pixelated regardless. There's a reason they didn't use their Retina branding.

What’s the leaked resolution?

  • oezi  3 years ago

    They now published 24m pixel total, 12m per eye, i.e. 4k per eye.

    • whynotminot  3 years ago

      4K is roughly 8 million pixels. I wonder if they’re including the front display in their pixel count. Or there actually is significantly better than 4K per eye happening here.

      At any rate, it’s a lot of pixels. Not sure what GP is complaining about.
