The Vive Pro 2 has ~12M pixels. This has 23M. That's nearly double. We don't know the FoV so we have no idea was the pixel per degree density is.


Double pixels still means only 41% better pixels per inch, per mm or per degree.


"Get ready to learn to type without looking at the keys I guess"

Why wouldn't you be able to look at the keys? This is AR, you can see everything around you still, including a physical keyboard right in front of you.


I'd guess if they owned the ecosystem (headset and keyboard) they could make for very accurate "pass through" showing the keyboard isolated over the background (arbitrarily change the desk surface, or have a floating keyboard, etc).

Remove your hands from the keyboard for a bit and have it set to disappear.


You could do this with Immersed on a Quest 2 but you’re right the ecosystem is what will make or break that option.

Personally I hope there is no keyboard at all. Seems with depth cameras mapping your hands, eye tracking, perfect speech-to-text, and some user training you could do some cool stuff.


Even further, there are two downward facing cameras. I bet they restrict these (for privacy), but I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with something to help you see your keyboard via those cameras
