>I purchased the Q2 with the intent of doing dev work with it and I expected it to be a big improvement

Well there's your mistake. I also have the Q2 but it was never meant for work but for games. The device was built to be as cheap as possible with the apropriate compromises that are just not gonna cut the salami in terms of image clarity for small text and such needed for work. Games like beat sabre and super hot? A complete blast! Browsing HN or code on it? Pass.

A VR headset for work would need to have a high resolution display panel per each eye, instead of shared one for both. That would massively increase the price, weight and the GPU horse-power needed to drive 2 high-res displays while decreasing battery life.

The tech is just not there yet for this to be cost effective enough to sell in high volumes but we're getting close really fast.

Kind of feel bad for my ambiguity....I bought it to make VR content with.
