>If I could replace my monitor with a portable device that would grant me huge virtual desktop space I would pay 3500$

People keep parroting this line, but have you ever actually tried this? There's way more to discomfort in VR than just pixel density.

Last time I tried was early oculus days and it wasn't even close.

But it's been like 7 years at this point ? If Apple has decided to launch it I would assume they worked out the kinks.

I'm not buying it until I see enough evidence it's usable (doubt I'll get to try it for 8 hours without buying one).

I loved the idea of Oculus Vim

But the practicality of not being able to see the people around me gave me the screaming heeby-jeebies. I just wasn't comfortable not knowing who was near me.

I will happily have 3 monitors in realspace just so I can turn my head to see who's near me.
