This idea assumes that the Vision Pro offers the same experience as those devices. My iPhone can let me watch movies and can be a monitor replacement, but it's bad at those things, so I don't do it. I snooped around a bit online for something along the lines of "VR headset as a monitor replacement" - I'm not seeing any kind of consensus that these devices are up to the job. If Apple's product is, then it's a game changer. It seems like they've put serious effort into some of the core problems: headset weight, refresh rates, AR concerns, pixelation. If that all sums up to be something that can be worn all day, then maybe people will see it as 7 times more valuable than a Quest 3. A little under two-thirds of Americans have one Apple product, how good is the Quest at integrating into that ecosystem? |

It doesn't have to be the same it just has to be good enough that the increased price of the Vision Pro isn't worth it.
>I'm not seeing any kind of consensus that these devices are up to the job.
You are not going to get a consensus even with the Vision Pro. There will be people who find wearing a headset to be inconvenient. I have used Immersed to use a Quest Pro as a screen replacement and I found it fine. Most people who work in VR use either Immersed or Horizon Workrooms from what I've seen and you will be able to find testimonials from proper who successfully use them as screen replacements.
>A little under two-thirds of Americans have one Apple product, how good is the Quest at integrating into that ecosystem?
It depends on what you mean. There is a Quest app that you can use to control your headset, cast your headset to, and sync notifications from your phone to your headset.
>headset weight
The headset weight doesn't sound special.
>refresh rates
90/96 Hz. The Quest Pro is at 90 Hz and the Quest 2 supports up to 120 Hz
>AR concerns
The Quest 3 will be improving the MR capabilities on the Quest side.
>pixelation
Pixelation isn't really a problem in VR. There is SDE which means your optics are too sharp and there is blur which means your optics are too blurry or the displays are too low resolution.
