I had no clue about this. thanks for sharing the workaround.

I got got a quest 3, moved up from quest 2, downloaded immersed, watched a few instruction videos beforehand, a problem I've run into is the 3 VR screens aren't independent of one another, I have 1, 2, 3 screens set up from left to right, going off my real life laptop, I click a folder in the middle screen and it pops open on the left screen, I click itunes on the right screen and it opens on the middle screen etc. This can't be right can it? kinda defeats the purpose. Also, can you position the screens freely and get them off that cursed grid? I move a screen off the grid then try position it where I want, if it comes too close to the grid, it snaps back in place, this is very annoying, can you truly go free form in how you position them? Thanks

Hi. This is the build in effect?

Nice hands - you should model!

For your quest 3, what about a charging dock. I have an anker one for my quest 2 that works great, but they don't appear to make one for quest 3. Hope to see you in the workrooms chat one day! Thanks for the vids.

You saved my life with this! I was trying it while looking at my palms instead of the back of my hand >_<

This is amazing!!!!! Thank you!!!!

This is probably a showstopper for me. I have one power cable running to the monitor with an internal hub, and one USB-C from the laptop to the monitor. All the other peripherals I need are plugged into the monitor and I'll be damned if I buy another USB-C powered hub. Oh well,... I am about to rent Meta Quest 3 to see if I will like it for sim racing (Assetto Corsa). And after reading about other uses of VR came across Immersed. I was totaly excited about the upcoming Visor. But I suppose it will not happen. Anyway, there's possibly a way to patch the excutable; search for "Immersed - Multiple Physical Monitors Detected Patch (v13)". BTW, the magnetic USB-C cables are probably a bad idea. They do not conform to the USB-C standard, and may be responsible for damage to ports and equipment hosting these ports.

Hey whats the name of this home ?

Nah screw these guys at Immersed. I'm done with supporting them. They had a great concept that was seamless and easy to use and i was prepared to ignore the level of jank the app STILL had after this long and the basic QOL issues they still hadn't managed to fix..... but this change is too damned annoying to put up with. Renji is a moron. If their vision is a future free from locking people down then why did they create a problem for many that requires more physical hardware. Other apps out there allow you to have multiple physical monitors even if they don't virtualize them. It would have been easy for immersed to do the same. Then his point about this freeing up developer time. Again. Other apps have figured this out. How incompetent or under resourced is his team? What else are they struggling with. Given that there are still countless QOL issues that still exist despite people flagging them for years now its clear they are struggling but why? How are they going to even support thier Vizor if basic support to ignore multiple monitors built into the app was causing enough of a concern for Renji to just scrap it lol. Seriously. This change has annoyed me enough to stop using the app and discard any interest in the visor. If they are willing to make a change as disruptive as this without providing a sensible solution then who knows what else they will mess up. I've moved over to using the latest Beta of Virtual Desktop which offers multiple virtual screens and doesn't freak out if you have multiple physical monitors (so no idea why the geniuses at Immersed couldn't figure out how to make their app work regardless of how many physical monitors you have) I was all in on Immersed and was using it pretty frequently. I was also eying up their visor. Virtual monitors are the future as far as i'm concerned but Immersed has just dropped out of the race.

hey dave. looking all over the place for a feature i thought i was able to activate few months ago. i want to be able to lock all my 5 screens in relation to each other and move them around together. any idea how i can do that? thanks for the awesome content you put out!

I have a Tower PC with a graphics card that has 2 HDMI out ports. Anyone got any ideas for the switch I need to make immersed think I only have 1 IRL monitor again?

Erh, no. Simply no. I'm glad you could find a workaround that is solving the issue for you personally, but with this update, the devs effectively bricked the software to people with multiple displays setups that are mounted or not easily accessible because they couldn't be bothered to figure out the software they sell. In a nutshell they dumped their inability to deal with a software issue, to the lap of the customer and made it a you-problem. I admire your patience and willingness to deal with it. :D

If you disable the other monitors is much easier. This seems overly complicated.

Very easy listening and thoughtful. You reemind me of Olli (I think Huttonen is his last name) who does stuff on photogrammetry, Gussian Splatting etc. from Finland. Also very pleasant.

Great presentation, thank you. My second monitor gave up recently and the problem thus solved itself 🙂 But I do see how there is still a need for psysical monitors for other people. Have the Visor on order, excited to see how it can help

Great video and very reasonable response. Once that announcement came out I got rid of my external displays and uninstalled better display to get used to the setup sooner and it hasn’t been as bad as I expected (other than resolutions, I had better clarity with better display). I know it is a pain, but I prefer apps that recognize when they need to cut losses and trim down so they can double down on the core. Hopefully this results in more wins down the road for them.

I normally run my extra monitors in Duplicate mode on my PC so they all act as the main, would I still have to disconnect the others?

Good tip! Windows users can access display settings >> Advanced display settings >> Choose display dropdown >> toggle ‘Remove display from desktop’ to manage their displays without hardware changes. Reverse the steps to enable each display for Windows detection.

Hi thank you for work btw can I ask what are you using for HDMI hub?

Nice fix but I will wait until things are fixed

7:15 - I understand Renji's hard choice he had to make, and I still love Immersed; but I'm shocked at how much friction this approach caused for so many users. If the displays were simply ignored, I could buy the "future free from locking down to physical workstations" thing. But right now, it feels like I'm in a Tesla driving up to a non-Tesla charger and my charging port stays locked because of that, or something. I don't expect them to engineer around my specific use case, but I honestly feel like I'm being pushed toward Workrooms (imo a slightly inferior product) due to now having to essentially disconnect my charging source to initiate an app. I run a MBP in a vertical stand to save on space, which means my two external monitors (plugged directly via USB-C) are my power source _and_ my default screen. So to get Immersed going, I'd have to run headless, hope my laptop doesn't immediately go to sleep, run on battery until either my MBP dies or my Q3 dies (certainly not a workday's worth of time in either case), then reach through my workspace to reconnect everything to get going again afterward. Or, I can have a max of 3 monitors that have fixed display ratios and slightly worse audio and simply treat the software like software. I don't know... It now kind of sucks either way.

As far as I remember, Immersed doesn't have display emulation available on Linux, only mirroring physical displays. Does that mean that now, on Linux, it is physically impossible to have more than one screen in Immersed? And yes, despite all the valid arguments, I personally find this decision very stupid and Windows- or Apple-like when they just decide that a certain feature is not needed anymore and just block it out. That is certainly not what they've ben asked to do: the community asked to give a choice between using physical screens or not - and they just chose themselves. More to say, sometimes it can make sense mirroring physical monitors - for example if you'd like to show something to someone approaching you IRL. Like, my wife wants me to show her the latest utility bill - so now I'll have to disconnect the headset, plig in the displays, show whatever I need and then do vice versa - makes no sense, really

Very weird decision. If it is really about engineers they could just disable external monitors and add an ability to choose which one you want to see in VR. It is not a technical restriction at all. I have a daisy chaining DP connection, meaning, my second monitor is connected directly to the first one, I don't have any hubs. Working with physical monitors allows you to jump between VR and real. You can exit Immersed anytime and continue working on the same monitors with the same windows open on the same position as in VR. Moreover, physical monitors always were more performant for me than virtual ones. Virtual monitor sometimes have glitches, super high latency and etc. while physical monitor in VR just worked.

The CEO said that he can't allow this feature because people would enable it and then experience a performance hit, so they removed it entirely. It's quite a wild take from someone who tries to sell hardware to the same user group. Also, he mentioned that those of us who experience problems represent just 5% of users, which amounts to only 50,000 users. But I think that 50,000 sales of a visor would not be considered a flop... I don't know. It's just weird. Why did they give us this option in the first place? I spend so much money on hardware (Quest 3, a router to reduce latency, power supplies, lens inserts, etc.) to make this free app work, and I am tired of losing functionality and seeing no measurable improvements in quality or latency. The worst part is, I was editing videos just fine one day, and then the next day, while troubleshooting, I received a response saying it was my fault for not keeping up with announcements from Immersed. I use it as a productivity app to be more productive, not to read through every piece of news that comes out. Imagine if Microsoft suddenly supported only displaying one Word page on the screen. I think that would be a productivity hit. I’m not saying that it's easy to develop such software, but they could at least give me the option to use an older version, enable features at my own risk, or let me pay for it. Sending a sneaky disable to previous versions to force an update... I don’t know. That just doesn’t sit right with me.

Does turning off the extra monitor(s) not work for everyone else? All I needed to do was hit the power button on my extra monitor, launched Immersed and was able to connect without any issues

So I'm confused, can Immersed have multiple monitors on one PC anymore? I needed to have dummy HDMI dongles on my graphics cards so I could have multiple monitors on a single PC. I don't have multiple monitors in my physical space anyway but in immersed I'd have at last two on the computer that was tethered to my headset.

I came here with pitchforks and torches, and dude talked me off the ledge.

Interesting. Nice Workaround. It seems like it should be fairly easy to find a USB-C "switch" or power button that could do something similar instead of having to yank out the magnetic cord. Then again, it's just magnetic, so it's about as easy as a switch. This is not the end of the world. Not ideal, but just deal with it, everyone. haha! More importantly, I think we all are desperate for any details about WHEN the actual Visor will ship. Maybe I'm just anxious to get started, but it feels like we all have been waiting forever with no real timeline. In your conversations with Rijay, have you gotten any general feel as to when we should expect them?

So no more external displays on immersed, but can I still have virtual monitors in the app?

this approach is not supported for my work laptop. Nice video by the way. This app is getting only focus in their hardware. If this is their goal. than maybe in the future they didn't even update the quest app. because they will have their custome OS to focus (unless the use Horizon OS). So, for now, Im going to use Immersed ONLY for remote work. If I work from home, I'll just use my external monitor and that's it.

Can you try realtimesoft ultramon with a shortcut to detach connected monitors?

Frustrations aside...Thank you for a feasible workaround and your advocacy in the Immersed community!

Good video and nice work around for a laptop. For desktops, if your graphics card supports it, you can set your monitors to span or surround and behave as a single display. After the interactions we had with the CEO in discord yesterday, and a bunch of us getting banned, I have a lot less confidence in this companying going forward. Despite the vision, Immersed is still an office productivity suite. One whose CEO came on discord and told his target customer set that they aren't worth his development team's time to support. What is telling is that the general desktop population is almost 15% multi-monitor set-up, laptops are just under 5% multi-monitor. I'm sure that percentage goes up when you look specifically at home and corporate offices. The Immersed CEO said multiple monitor set-ups were only 5% of their over-all user set, which means they are getting poor adoption from their target customer set, probably because the software, five years after release, is still clunky and requires fiddling with to get working (sometimes actually requires a Meta Developer account and using a third-party tool to clear out some specific Meta app data settings). Basically, their target customer, the ones who will use the app daily as a productivity tool and buy the in-app QoL features are not staying with the app because it simply consumes too much time troubleshooting.

Immersed just pushed out new updates to their desktop agent and VR app. They no longer support users with multiple monitors. You have to physically unplug everything except your primary monitor or the Agent will give you a big red text warning message and won't let you connect. They did this intentionally because they say multiple monitors are too much work to support.

And if you pointed out the failed logic in their interpretation of the data, they banned you from Discord and erased the conversation. Me thinks they are having investor trouble.

Honestly, there's no way to defend that. They took a big step back. They destroyed something that worked well. The virtual world does not exist without the real one. Not everyone can or wants to physically connect and disconnect their screens... Does anyone know what happened to Discord? It seems to me that criticism is prohibited too.

I just went into my display settings and changed the "Extend desktop to this display" dropdown to "Disconnect this display" for each of my monitors and that worked fine. Is that not an option for everyone else? Seems like a much easier solution than adding more devices and making physical changes to a setup.

This is a great video. it shows a work around to a problem that is out of his control and HOPEFULLY gets people to think critcally about a situation. I agree there should have been a work around that just blanks out external monitors instead of throwing errors but we dont know what dev it would take for any of this. I will say having one monitor on a desktop is the reason i got a quest 3 and immersed makes my time working in vr that much better. We need more critical thinkers before we get out the pitchforks. On a side note, what is that usb c docking station and power/data cable you are using?

This is the first time I have been disappointed with Immersed. It is unfortunate that I now have to add even more hardware to my setup and/or go through gymnastics to make Immersed work. Not to mention that every time I unplug my monitors, the windows all get thrown to the main display and I have to reset the positioning of everything each time I go into Immersed. I will not stop using Immersed, but it is disappointing that they have gone the “Apple” route and just made some crazy decision that requires me to have even more stuff on my desktop in order to be able to use their product. Dave, this is a great workaround, thanks for sharing it.

Yeah, I'm not going along with this regressive, user-antagonistic change for the sake of the company. The arrogance of an app telling you to unplug your own hardware is galling. Clearly they're doing this in the interest of their bottom line because so many people use virtual dongles to get around the screen limit of the basic tier. I uninstalled Immersed today and will use Horizons Workrooms instead. The devs for that app don't seem to have a problem supporting external displays.

Awesome video Dave. Waited so long for a new upload. 😊 Here you are. Eagerly waiting for your Visor review when it arrives 🤞

Unfortunately the latest agent ruins Immersed for anyone who has multiple physical monitors. Not only does it not show multiple physical monitors inside the app, it straight up tells you to unplug them rather than showing one physical and x virtual. Was using it just fine with two physical and two virtual prior. There's also allegations they're removing any posts pointing this out/critical of this from their official subreddit and Discord

So, I've bought a backpack - Caselogic Bryker: a.co/d/25dxkWg There are small, medium and large models - I've got the large one. It has a large front compartment which is very customizable using the removable pads with velcro straps. So along with the headset I was able to make small compartments for the peripherals: battery, controllers, laptop charger, headphones and mouse. It also has a laptop pocket which was just enough for my Lenovo T14s, but it's quite tight and I believe anything larger than 14"-15" won't fit in. I've made a picture of my layout: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0wry6zc2vb8xphbbjevik/bryker.jpg?rlkey=49htmbzf5ca3vupo88xehspte&st=caj2vlr1&dl=0 I quite often have to drive my daughter to her classes and wait here working remotely. With this BoboVR strap the headset becomes very large and hard to carry (with the native headstrap it fitted into my slim laptop backpack - but it was hard to close). So with BoboVR I had to take a second bag to carry the headset and I preferred rather leaving it at home. Now I'll try this one.

Love the video Dave! :) Quick question re: the lens inserts. Do you find that the mount stays on and that its pretty secure? The VR Wave lenses that I got for QPro is really bad at staying on and its difficult to attach.. p.s. This video is making me consider a Quest 3. Very useful!

Finally got my S3 Pro and AMVR facial interface. The problem I found - the AMVR facial interface has a large blend on top, which hits the forehead part of S3 headsstrap (the one where the fan is placed) - making to keep the headset in the lowest position possible. Have you had a same problem?

Where you learn this? I was trying to find this out, Chatted with my eye dr and he dismissed my idea. I’m legally blind and was sure the distance wasn’t right.

When you go to an optometrist do you just tell them you need a prescription for 4' intermediate lenses?

What about using for quest 3 facial like quest pro? How good or bad is it compared to AMVR?

Hi, what do you think of the Vision Pro, and should one get the quest 3 or vision pro? Thanks.
