I did it, it’s possible. It’s also a terrible experience. Pixelated. Laggy. Can’t see where the keyboard is… it’s half baked. I can work max one hour then I give up.
Weirdly, the experience with Virtual Desktop on the Quest 3 is fast, high resolution, clean, and all that wireless on WiFi 7.
Fix those and I am a buyer, at any price.

I didn't say it was.
> Is this a parody? The chip is a laptop-grade APU tethered to a power bank, and you're bragging about pixel-shading a OP was talking in the timescale of "since forever", and so am I. Your mind will be blown when you discover what happens when you export that mesh without optimization or LOD maps to a head mounted computer from 2004.

Yeah there was, you mounted some markers on your headset and attached the mocap camera on marker set. Obviously as a consumer you needed to either use vive or oculus.

You did VR? How did you get the round trip latency below 100ms? That was a serious issue until relatively late in the game. Maybe they cracked it by 2011, but even in 2006, it was a serious issue (mocap rigs are not designed for utra low latency feedback)
My team uses this technology on a daily basis at my company. I run a design / build firm in the Hamptons, USA. We start all of our design projects with a 3d-first approach. Schematic design starts in 3D using Rhino3D or Revit. We use visualization plugins, like Enscape, to render the models and stream to a Quest 3 headset. So when clients come in, and feels adventurous, we'll setup the headset, set the display height…
For those that don’t know, the Hamptons are full of very nice places. The uber-rich have second homes, there, that are bigger than Gold Coast first homes. This company probably makes a lot of money, but they also have serious competition, so they need things like the 3D walkthroughs. Summer traffic in the Hamptons is a nightmare, though. Many uber-rich have helipads.
And the Hamptons competition is very serious. It's insane really. Construction in the Hamptons is the Olympics of high-end building. There are atleast a dozen excellent, amazing builders and over 250 active companies in total. My company sits near the top of that list and the only one, to my knowledge, actively leveraging technology to our advantage.
No private heli-pads, they banned it long ago. There's a little known heli-pad on Meadow Lane in Southampton. So from your SoHo office to your beachfront house is under an hour. There's also Blade service to EH.
One of my clients often arrives by seaplane to check on the progress of his Peconic Bay waterfront project. It's pretty cool.
I scanned my local climbing gym and have climbing videos mapped onto the wall https://kmcheung12.github.io/climb-preview/w/a6ece004 I think 3D application is massively under utilised. There is whole family of interaction the textual web cannot provide
Here's a low-voltage wiring installer that wrote his own Vision Pro app to help visualize in-wall studs to make it easer to run wiring: https://old.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/1ut1atj/how_i_ret... https://old.reddit.com/r/VisionPro/comments/1tq34lj/created_...

He's in the Charlotte NC area.

You are 100% correct. My company is fortunate enough to have the working capital and time to explore ideas, which is honestly, one of the most fulfilling parts of my business.

Glad to hear you guys are doing so well.

One was a vicon, which was low latency and sexy, another was the USB optitrack, which was utter shite. I don't remember what the third lot used.
The vicon at the time seemed to be low enough latency to useable. The director didn't like the headset so opted for a monitor instead. perhaps it was too higher latency to be practical. ( I didn't get a chance to use the headset, being young and too far down the pecking order. I only got to use the monitor )

The resolution but specially the pass through is what kills it for me. Fix those and I am a buyer, at any price.

This is amazing! I'm guessing this can be used for creating 3D models of outdoor routes if you wore a vision pro on rappel? How accurate do you think it would be for "seeing into" cracks, at least deep enough to pick up the relevant details for gear placements and climbing movements?
On the other hand, if we want a 3D reconstruction of a route in general, using a drone, then that's very doable. We still rely on 2D climbing magazine/book/app to view a route, where the contour of the route itself is highly desirably imo.
