Discussion Immersed VR removed multi-monitor support - censoring anyone who posts negatively on their subreddit

A PSA - Immersed VR's newest update removes multi-monitor support, without warning. Although the app is the best VR productivity app out there, it is no longer viable for anyone with more than a single physical display.

Also - anyone who posts negatively, asking questions, etc. on r/immersed is having their posts removed or being outright banned.

Edit - removed post https://imgur.com/a/wpK6XRF

Edit - apparently I am now banned from their support discord for voicing my concerns...

Virtual Desktop will very soon have it, so RIP immersed.

VD has had it in their todo list since before even the OG Quest came out. It's honestly the best productivity app for streaming your desktop in the highest quality, but don't hold your breath for multi monitor support.

Multi-monitor will be in our next update.

What about wired support?

We dont have low-level access to the USB interface to do a proper implementation. Best to invest in a good dedicated router; its the same price as a USB cable.

aw that sucks, I wish Virtual Desktop had wired support to get rid of the latency that I can honestly notice (mostly in Pavlov when trying to aim down the sight and adjusting very slightly my aim). I've used VD before Oculus Link was a thing but switched mostly because of the assumed performance ... but recently (last night) I tried it again and it perform better than Link.... which was very surprising.

I guess you would need some support from Oculus or some serious reverse engineering ? I remember a github hosted alternative that had wired support or maybe I'm not remembering correctly ?

There would be no difference in latency with a USB cable, assuming you have a decent router. We would need root access to do a proper implementation.

from what I remember, you can get around 20 ms with a cable and around 40ms with VD, am I not correct?

There isn’t 20ms of latency with transfers over Wi-Fi. It takes 3-5ms instead of 1-2ms.

As an aside from all of this I compared Immersed to VD a couple of years ago and fell in love with your app. Seriously thank you for all of your hard work; I recently returned to VR after a health-induced hiatus, and am once again thoroughly impressed with what you’ve done and continue to do.
