Building VR with Godot, Inside of VR
Attached: 1 image First day of work on my Ludum Dare compo entry is done! It's not a game yet, but it's running and building just fine. Editing and working entirely in VR for hours like this is a fascinating experience. #ldjam #ludumdare #vr

Can you explain your setup? I use a Quest3 with immersed right now, but would also love something that looks a bit more native (like this does)
Have you tried any other headstraps before? I was torn between the M3 and a Kiwi strap, but chose the Kiwi due to reading it was a little more secure gaming wise (at the expense of some comfort).
I actually haven't tried Immersed so I can't really compare it, but this is just using the usual Quest window management, no special app. Godot has recently been released on the Quest app store and runs natively. I've then sideloaded a few Android apps to help with development: Material File Manager from F-Droid, AnyDesk for remote desktop work with Linux (mostly for Blender), and I've seen someone using Git through Termux, will likely employ that for larger projects in the future. SFTP through Material File Manager handles moving files between the Quest and my Desktop.
I've not tried any other Quest 3 headstraps (aside from the stock one), but for me comfort is king. I've previously owned a Quest 1, which I added a halo headstrap to, but it was still crazy uncomfortable for more than half an hour or so. Before that I owned a Rift CV1, which I also found uncomfortable after more than an hour, despite attempts to modify it for comfort. The Bobo M3 is the first time I've actually felt comfortable enough to use VR for literally hours at a time. It's insane that it took seven years of being a VR enthusiast for me to finally find something like that.
Ah, I didn't think about sideloading for remote desktop apps. How do you interact with your PC? Do you have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to the headset?
Immersed is pretty solid. It is quite involved though, which is kind of its greatest strength and weakness. I like this look of native quest 3 windows. It feels very light.
Yes I've got a Logitech keyboard and trackball mouse.
