Using a Quest headset as a private, large or multi-monitor setup makes sense from a productivity persective, said Avi Greengart, founder of research firm Technsponential. Access to all of Windows — rather than just a browser and select Windows 365 apps — adds “a lot of utility.”
“Large virtual monitors are a key use case for investing in head-mounted displays, whether that’s a mainstream headset like the Quest 3, a high-end spatial computing platform like the Apple Vision Pro, or a pair of display glasses from XREAL that plug into your phone or laptop,” said Greengart.
Several hardware constrains limit the use of Quest devices for work tasks, including display resolution and field of view (the amount of the observable virtual world visible with the device), and the discomfort of wearing a headset for extended periods.
