The problem is that the angular resolution on any existing set of VR goggles is considerably worse than on existing conventional displays. And that’s just to start with — for VR goggles, then you have to “consume” some of that to effectively get clear projections into 3D space of stuff.
Someone a while back posted this article, which was talking specifically about the issues with using the Apple Vision Pro as a monitor replacement. I think that it was a good look into the issues:
If I could get a “monitor replacement” set of VR goggles, something that I could use for as long as I do a monitor with the clarity and angular resolution of a monitor, then I’d do so. But they just aren’t there in 2025, and I doubt that they’re getting there soon. They’re good enough for playing some 3D games for limited periods of time, but that’s kind of a limited use case for me.
