This is why we need VR to get higher resolution

I thought that the newly-released HP Reverb G2 has a high-enough resolution for desktop work.

Could anyone with experience confirm?

The G2 is around 22 pixels per degree. But you lose a large chunk of resolution due to bilinear resampling. So a 22 degree virtual screen would be around 1320px wide, but have a lower usable resolution. Since people did develop with multiple 1280x1024 monitors, this is a usable resolution with the right setup.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/HMDprogramming/ for more examples of people trying to write code in VR.

We think the priority needs to be AR. The ability to see your surroundings is crucial. We have also have some ideas around this that we are hoping to demonstrate next year.
