Immersed

I had some trouble connecting and get things going at first but after some research I found out you need to connect your PC first and then use this app on your phone to cast your phone screen to the VR environment. The concept is pretty awesome and I look forward to the future of this. Right now you can see your phone screen but it is not usable for iphone games or videos (like I wanted) but the future sure looks bright!!

I use Immersed on Mac, Linux and PC and just decided to try it on my iPad Pro and my Quest 3. It works SO well, in fact I’m using it right now. You don’t have the features of the desktop, like multiple / virtual screens, but that’s not the fault of the software it’s a limitation of iPadOS. It’s just amazing to be able to use my iPad, with the Keyboard / Trackpad, on a giant screen in VR.

This app is as half baked as the rest of the immersed ecosystem. It relies on screen casting which relies on your phone being awake. Ever tried using your phone with a vr headset on? Not only that, but all of their support and account management is done through discord. They have no real area on their website for account management. They don’t tell you that they have a separate download if you want to install it on a second machine. They don’t allow you to delete connected machines. They don’t allow you to change your email address. I could go on, but if you want a product that works, just use Virtual Desktop. It may not have all the features promised by immersed, but that’s because it only offers features that work.

Not too useful right now aside from a way to use your phone in vr without full certainty where your fingers are touching. If you turn the app on and are willing to leave your phone running, it might be neat but you have to leave it plugged In to keep your phone from dying. It will get there, main problem with immersed is not being able to interact with devices using the motion controllers. I don’t mind using keyboard and mouse, years away I can see using this with keyboard and mouse to control your phone.

I have started using this more and more with my MacBook, it’s great to get big screens and multi screen for my MacBook, but with my IpadPro M2 it never connects and makes me sad. But works great with the MacBook!

I’ve spent the past two weeks trying to get this to work to a point that I can work in it, and it just doesn’t work. My screens will display, but I can’t use my keyboard. I went out and bought a trackable keyboard, and that works great. However, it’s useless because most times, I can’t see my hands. And when I do, they don’t move so I don’t press the right keys. It’s a great concept if you can ever get it to work. In the mean time, I’m looking for something else I can use.

This app will allow you to broadcast your iPhone screen into Immersed. Unfortunately Apple doesn’t offer Universal Control so you can use your mouse and keyboard on the iPhone like you can with the iPad. You’ll still have to use pass-through to see where your fingers are on the iPhone screen so this is of limited use until Apple allows UC for iPhones. It looks like you also can’t let your iPhone’s display sleep or it will disappear in Immersed.

I spent an hour researching how to get this app to work in VR and have tried several options and still couldn’t get it to work. I feel like a good app won’t require an hour of research to get it going and in my case I never did get it to work.

Linked but nothing show or steamed In vr. Also, the desktop app still have a very high load cpu issue. The app is very promising but still need time.

Can’t connect! no pin comes up anywhere! Waste of time!

this app has me put in my code and then asks for an email address. the thing is, there is nowhere to actually enter the email address, as the actual prompt to do so is on the screen for about 0.5 seconds, is unclickable, and returns you to the enter code screen. thats the only issue, please fix it

Put the code in 15 time did not work.

I had put the code it gave me 40 times and still wouldn’t connect to my iPhone so this app isn’t ready at all and needs more bug fixes

This beta is nowhere near production-ready. You can’t interact with your phone — you can just see the screen for a few seconds. Once your phone auto-locks, it disappears. To connect, the app kept telling me to check my code in VR. Turns out the VR app was giving me the wrong code until I restarted. When it wasn’t working, I tweeted to Immersed. They told me thousands of people got it to work, implying I was doing something wrong. They directed me to their discord server where 100s of people we having issues. It seems like Immersed is using this half-baked feature to help market their crowd source investment round. I don’t think this will ever materialize into a usable way to interact with your phone in VR. I hope I’m wrong. Deleted all 3 apps — quest, iPhone, computer.
