Vision Pro and 2D drawing/writing?

[subjonas]

Anyone somehow able to use VP while doing serious 2D drawing/hand-writing?

From what I've gathered from VP owners, the video pass-through is not adequate for focusing on things up close, particularly a pen display which is what I use for work. And as far as I know, there is no way to do any serious drawing in visionOS itself, only air finger drawing which is not useful to me.

I imagine one could use a Wacom tablet with their virtual Mac display, but unfortunately indirect drawing tablets don't work for me. But if one does use that, I'm curious how well it works with a virtual Mac display, particularly if there's any lag.

I was very interested in getting a VP mainly to spread out all my support docs and reference images in virtual space while drawing, when working away from my desk monitor setup (which is most of the time these days). But since my work mainly entails 2D drawing (on desktop-only software but one problem at a time), if I'm not able to do that then the VP is a no go for me. I may have to opt for AR glasses, but the ones I've seen so far don't look very promising.

This definitely is one of Your Mileage May Very Situations, and I wouldn’t necessarily believe everything you read. People have very different expectations, some expect indistinguishable from eye experience (not happening) and others accept good enough is good enough. I can read my text on my iPhone for example. But I would have no clue if this is good enough for you. Long way of saying, go get a demo and see if its good enough for you. You might be pleasantly surprised. I definitely would not rule it out from what you read here.

Thanks for the response. It seems to be pretty unanimous from all the videos and user reviews that have specifically mentioned it that I’ve seen, that looking at physical screens for more than a moment isn’t great, and I would need to do it for a whole work day, day after day. But yes I do plan on bringing my laptop or iPad/Pencil to a demo at some point to test it out for myself for my final decision. Although it might be difficult to extrapolate how it would be over a whole work day and consecutive work days. The only way for me to truly know might be to buy one and try it over two weeks. I might not be able to get around to doing that for a bit though, and either way it would be interesting to hear others’ experiences.

Actually, I suppose the drawing part is secondary to just being able to look at a physical screen, which anyone can do, so maybe I should broaden the question:
Do you (or any VP owners) think looking at a physical monitor (or an iPad) for a whole work day (with normal breaks) while wearing a VP would be significantly better/same/worse vs naked eyes?
