How does reading text (I presume) work for you using a VR headset? That was my main gripe with VR, I think that was the original Oculus Quest, in that I couldn't read text very well. I need glasses as well, only a minor thing, but enough to give me eyestrain / headaches when trying to read text.



The text clarity is not for everyone or every application but for me the difference gets lost in the experience. Running a wireless remote desktop client like Immersed or vSpatial, I will naturally resize the text on each window and have gotten used to moving my head vs moving my eyes around the space. I find there is a certain frame size that works for me to read scrolling, although it can be a unique experience seeing a full 2-page view at cinema size. I also use a lot of different screen layouts (size, distance, and placements) for different workloads. Basically, its "good enough" & supposed to be an improvement from Quest 1 from what I understand and the new Pro increases this even more.


You might want to check out NReal Air then - the headset is super lightweight, has adapters for prescription lenses, and works really well as an alternative to a monitor. Usual disclaimers, happy user etc.
