These “for work headsets” are neat from a technical standpoint. But it’s a solution looking for a problem. Multi monitor set ups already exist (for a much lower price) and I presume are less finicky to use.

This could be nice for working on the go, but the reality is people who need that much screen real estate work in a single location.

I would spend an inordinate amount of money to simulate a work environment for me and not have to dedicate an office space.

  1. Saves rooms dedicated for me while I'm work from home

  2. I can get dynamically composed displays based on what I'm working on. Sometimes I don't want to be totally cut off by monitor space, sometimes I need lots of vertical windows.

  3. I can use it on a plane.

  4. I can use it in a hotel room

It's a desktop experience with a slightly more inconvenient format then a laptop.

Super interested in the idea but also NEED augmented reality for this similar to Apple's headset capabilities.

I was actually really interested in the Vision pro for those use case until Simula pointed out that it's based on iOS. This is what effectively killed the iPad for me as well. The platform just isn't there yet in work class productivity. That's a huge disappointment.

What a great find, thanks! I'd definitely be more interested in the SimulaVR.
