For my own curiousity: how do you type? As in, does the VP have like a... idk, hologram keyboard or something?

It does, but you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard, which is what I do.
Or, if you are using virtual desktop, you can use your mouse and keyboard to control VP natively as well. The only drawback is that this may not work if you are on VPN (even if the desktop comes through OK). I'm hoping this is a software issue that will get straightened out soon.

What do you think of the AVP’s potential as a DAM tool, at least for hobbyists? Obviously a Lightroom subscription is way, way cheaper, but it seems like it would be awesome to have a native solution that ties in with iCloud sync and lets you blow up your photos to huge size for side-by-side comparisons.
I've also used it for reading, watching movies, and reminiscing over old photos. Something I don't think that has really been captured well in reviews is how incredible it is to look at life-size recreations of photos you took on your phone, even plain old 2D ones. There's something really special about seeing a photo at life-size scale wherever you want, even if you technically can achieve this with a massive projector. And that's to say nothing of the bittersweet nostalgic nature of spatial video / photos, which has, if anything, been profoundly understated.
It is not my first headset. Previous to the AVP, I owned Quests 1, 2, and 3, and I experienced the Rift before that. I tried, hard, to work all day in each of the Quests as that was my primary use case for them, but flamed out after a couple of hours every time.
