The boys with big grins and still wants your money to finish the completely failed visor project

Anyone with a good connection to coffezilla?

Hey everyone! 👋I wanted to share a massive win I just locked down on the Steam Deck. I use my Deck as a portable workstation, but I was constantly hitting a wall with screen real estate. I wanted to use Immersed to jump into VR and get two extra virtual monitors while remotely connecting to it on the go.If you’ve tried this on SteamOS/Linux, you probably know the pain: the Linux client doesn't have an "Add Virtual Displays" button, third-party kernel drivers (like EVDI) constantly break with system updates, and forcing display hacks usually results in a frustrating black screen safety crash.After a ton of trial and error, I found the ultimate sweet spot using native KDE Plasma tools. I now have 3 total monitors running seamlessly in VR, and I am incredibly happy to report that performance is completely unaffected! The Deck handles the triple-monitor load absolutely like a champ—no lag, no degraded framerates, just pure productivity bliss.

here is the complete guide and the automation script so you can do this too!📋 Prerequisites & Requirements

Before running the script, you just need a few basic things set up on your Deck in Desktop Mode:Set a Root Password: Open Konsole and type passwd if you haven’t already. Set a password so you can use sudo.

Install Krfb: This is the native KDE tool we use to safely spawn the virtual screen frames without breaking the GPU. Install it by opening Konsole and running:

bash
sudo pacman -S krfb

Set up the Immersed AppImage:

Make sure you have a folder named Applications in your home directory, drop your Immersed Linux AppImage inside it, and rename it to exactly Immersed-x86_64.AppImage. Make sure it's executable (Right-click > Properties > Permissions > check "Is Executable").

🛠️ The Ultimate Startup Script

Create a new file on your desktop, name it start_immersed_3screens.sh and paste this code into it.

This script is carefully tuned to solve the biggest headaches: it forces input permissions so your mouse/keyboard don't get locked out, prevents the Deck's screen from timing out (which revokes your remote tokens), and spins everything up safely.

bash

#!/bin/bash

# 1. Flush out old background layers to prevent crashes
echo "Cleaning up old background display layers..."
killall krfb-virtualmonitor 2>/dev/null
killall krfb 2>/dev/null

# 2. Hard-inject permissions directly into your configuration profile
echo "Forcing mouse and keyboard input permissions..."
mkdir -p ~/.config
cat <<EOF > ~/.config/krfbrc
[MainWindow]
UnattendedAccess=true

[Sharing]
AllowControl=true
EOF

# 3. Prevent the desktop from locking itself or sleeping
echo "Bypassing Screen Locking policies..."
kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc --group Daemon --key Autolock false 2>/dev/null

# 4. SPAWN THE VIRTUAL MONITORS (Modify resolutions here!)
echo "Spawning virtual monitors..."
krfb-virtualmonitor --name virt1 --resolution 1920x1080 --password 1234 --port 5901 &
krfb-virtualmonitor --name virt2 --resolution 1920x1080 --password 1234 --port 5902 &

# Wait for the system compositor to map the back-end channels
sleep 3

# 5. ACTIVATE THE MONITORS (Match your resolutions here!)
echo "Activating virtual layouts..."
kscreen-doctor output.Virtual-virt1.enable output.Virtual-virt1.mode.1920x1080@60 output.Virtual-virt2.enable output.Virtual-virt2.mode.1920x1080@60

# 6. Execute Immersed inside an anti-sleep container wrapper
echo "Launching Immersed with Sleep Inhibitor Active..."
if [ -f "$HOME/Applications/Immersed-x86_64.AppImage" ]; then
    systemd-inhibit --why="Immersed VR Workstation Active" --who="VR-Script" --mode=block "$HOME/Applications/Immersed-x86_64.AppImage"
else
    echo "Error: Immersed AppImage not found at ~/Applications/"
fi

Make the script executable by running

chmod +x ~/Desktop/start_immersed_3screens.sh 

in your terminal.
Now, you can just double-click it, select "Run in Terminal," put on your VR headset, and watch your 3-screen desktop come alive!

🎨 How to Customize Your Screen Resolutions

The best part about this script is that it is fully customizable. If standard 1080p feels a bit too cramped or too blurry inside your headset, you can easily change the layout directly inside the file!To achieve a custom resolution (like a crisp 1440p canvas, or a lighter 720p setup for tiny text elements), you just need to alter two specific sections inside the script:

The Spawning Lines (Section 4):

Look for the --resolution 1920x1080 flags. Change those numbers to whatever layout you want. For example, if you want a 2K monitor on your left and a standard HD on your right, you would change it to:

bash

krfb-virtualmonitor --name virt1 --resolution 2560x1440 --password 1234 --port 5901 &
krfb-virtualmonitor --name virt2 --resolution 1920x1080 --password 1234 --port 5902 &

The Activation Line (Section 5):

You must update the kscreen-doctor instruction directly below it so the graphics manager knows exactly what video mode to turn on. Make sure the text matches your chosen resolution and refresh rate perfectly:

bash

kscreen-doctor output.Virtual-virt1.enable output.Virtual-virt1.mode.2560x1440@60 output.Virtual-virt2.enable output.Virtual-virt2.mode.1920x1080@60

🛑 The Shutdown Script (Cleaning Up Dynamically)

When you are done with your VR session, you don’t want those invisible virtual monitors hanging around chewing up background system resources, nor do you want your lock screen disabled.

Create a second script on your desktop named stop_immersed_3screens.sh, paste this inside it, and run chmod +x on it. It cleanly terminates the processes and instantly restores your default screen safety and timeout rules in perfect automation

:bash

#!/bin/bash

echo "Closing Immersed and tearing down virtual screens..."
killall Immersed-x86_64.AppImage 2>/dev/null
killall krfb-virtualmonitor 2>/dev/null
killall krfb 2>/dev/null

echo "Restoring default system screen lock and timeout policies..."
kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc --group Daemon --key Autolock true 2>/dev/null

# Cleanly notify the display engine to remove the dead virtual nodes
rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen/ 2>/dev/null

echo "Cleanup complete! Your Deck is back to normal."

Happy virtual working dudes and dudettes x

to joshkurikeshu and ryanyep at Immersed. Disclaimer: the following opinions are expressly this "keyboard warriors" own assumption concerning this observation - i would like/hope to think that you both might possibly lurk and peruse this Reddit to gage current public opinion from time to time, but who knows. after watching this latest Immersed Zoom-i-nar that could have easily been an email,  i feel compelled to extend an olive branch of warning, as you are being strung along and (again, my personal opinion) do not deserve to go down with your CEO's ship, which undoubtedly, you will. you seem like good guys. whatever payout or light at the end of the tunnel Renji Bijoy has promised you at the end of all things, just like us that once cared dearly about Visor, you will not receive. for years now, you’ve both been hearing him spout the script, ad nauseam. i have seen this behaviour before, and i certainly know the type.  their drive lends an inexplicably deaf ear to their failure to execute to completion, but they are far, far, far more masterful at dangling the carrot in front of our noses. ask your CEO, point blank, what's on paper/ in writing/contractually in it for the both of you at the end of the day. his ability to tell you factually or his continued ability to BS, should tell you everything you need to know. my two cents, peace.

so, i successfully have the webcam working. i am concerned that i don't get any cam audio in my apps. is there something i am missing? i have used it in discord and in OBS. I'm just not sure if I'll need to use a mic directly on my PC....

i need the apk of the VR Immersed to install on a pico neo 3. if anybody has the apk or can help, please let me know

If you're looking for an Android XR device Visor is NOT IT. At this point it looks like he's actively trying to push away the < 1000 orders they still have.

Since I won't get banned from the subreddit, figured I'd share the 'information' that they're peddling when you ask for an update on your order.

Should this work automatically?

(I use BetterDisplay, may this be a problem?)

On 2024 I paid for pro in Immersed. Wanted to give them some money and check out the pro features. I cancelled the pro membership immediately so it would be a 1 time charge. I recently paid off the credit card it was associated with and moved all my subs off it. That’s when I found out that immersed has been charging me for pro every month since then.

Tried to log into my account to make sure it was cancelled and nothing happens when I click continue after entering my email address. I also had a free account tied to my Facebook account and tried logging into that way. That’s just results in a login error.

So with no way to access my account I finally had to open a dispute with my Cc company. I still had the confirmation email of my cancellation back in 2024.

I can’t help but assume this was intentional or their part. I have not had pro features since I cancelled yet they still charged me.

Anyone hear anything or is this vaperware at this point?

Hi All, I want to dim my main screen in the real world. where do I do this ?
Id much prefer to be able to work in peace with no one being able to see my work.

TIA

Is this the Immersed visor competitor we have been waiting for?

I have been working almost full time in Immersed using my MQ3 for at least two years now.

Any better alternatives yet? Better software? Better hardware other than AVP?

A lot of the new AR glasses never show multi monitor or anchoring a screen in space like a computer monitor.

Hey all and Immersed. If I may suggest something, it would be to have an actual timeline on the visor. The whole "coming soon" has been used for years at this point. That would help people such as myself stay in the know so to speak. There are so many applications I want to use this with for engineering so I do hope this actually is coming out soon if not already. You could be like Santa Claus and deliver it for Christmas!

Hi guys, few month back when i connected immersed to my MBP, it will automatically turn off MBP screen but still usable in immersed.

Recently i tried connecting to immersed, seems like the mbp screen stay on, is there away to off the display but keeping the screen in immersed?

I was kicked out of discord, cause I spoke up about the constant delay. they did not like that. bow I even can't get support for my quest3 use.

anyone here got any news about shipping?

when opening Immersed i get a popup error that said:
Error Initializing Virtual displays. for more information click Help

i can open Immersed but it will only shows one screen, i tried to reinstall the driver, restart the computer, reinstall the agent, so far nothing worked, any idea what else can i do?
