According to the press release in Global Newswire - Immersed is going public through a merger with Maquia Capital Acquisition Corp.

This is exciting news for us long-time users of the platform, as this will bring the capital needed to move forward with their planned AR Glasses, named Visor, and an AI initiative that is yet to be publicly presented that apparently is named or code-named Curator.

Disclosure: I am one of the people who work over 30 hours a week in the platform.

Nope. If this is ever required by my job I’ll be looking for a new job.

Have you tried modern HMD's? There's nothing currently on the market that I would use as a daily driver, though this looks like it could have the specs to make that a possibility for me. I personally have been wanting this use case every since I first tried VR.

I look forward to the day I can get rid of my physical displays.

I have a Valve Index, and while I know it's not top-of-the-line anymore, it's a pretty nice hmd. However, as much as I'd like to ditch my physical monitors, the screens just aren't high enough res for that. Additionally, if you like playing non-vr games like I do, VR adds additional overhead that decreases the game's performance.

From what I've seen, Apple's new headset looks like the only one that'd really have the resolution to replace physical monitors, and because it has its own built-in processor, it means you could run games, blender, davinci resolve, etc on your PC while your VR environment gets rendered on the headset. However, it's expensive as fuck and I can't see consumer-targeted devices coming out with similar specs for a while.

Immersed is developing their own headset. Also the Index is a terrible test case for a monitor replacement. It's a great headset but the display is potatoe quality by today's standards.
