Immersed claims Visor is the future of remote work. Critics claim it's a scam. Today I attended the first demo event in search of the truth.

Immersed covered most of the cost of my flights from the UK to its event in Texas, which made it possible for me to attend. If you've read my work before you'll know that won't have any effect on my impressions, but I think it's important to disclose nonetheless.

Since 2020 Immersed has offered a free app now available on Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Vive Focus, and Pico that shows your PC monitor in VR and lets you spawn entirely virtual extra monitors, for up to 5 monitors in total if you pay. The Immersed app supports Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Visor is a new headset fully designed around this use case, a lightweight streamlined device rather than a generalized headset for gaming.

Like Apple Vision Pro, it has a tethered battery and is primarily intended to be used seated. The battery also contains the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna.
