This upcoming Micro-OLED VR headset has absolutely everything and weighs less than 200 grams but of course it costs nearly 4x the Quest 3 (www.pcgamer.com)

Chonky or super-expensive seems to be the main dilemma.

Could that be practically used as replacement for multiple monitors?
I do know that some software for VR Desktops exist, but at least my Index wouldn't have the resolution to comfortably read/write code

Would be really cool for business trips to always have multiple virtual monitors, which can by dynamically arranged and so on :⁠-⁠D

Edit: ah, and it will need to run with Linux/i3
Seems currently most headsets are meant for Windows and gaming...
Although the one from BigScreenVR also seems nice, but the requirements say Windows and Tracking stations.
Would like a headset only as display replacement for on the go...
