I tried it with their examples, trying to isolate speech only or background music only, but it seems to produce audio that is near identical to the original.
Yeah browsers are much better at this but there's still a lot of places where it's problematic (e.g. Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, etc.)
In terms of text editing no not really, most folks I know are either using Word, Pages, or Google Docs.
Usually the caret going the opposite direction is because of bidi characters. It would behave properly if you used Eastern Arabic / Indo-Arabic numerals, e.g. ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩ because those count as RTL.
If you need to have on line that has both RTL, bidi, and LTR, that's when I find everything goes to hell no matter what software I am using.
I'm bilingual and frequently use English and Arabic together.
What I'm used to is that the caret is unchanged.
The best setup I've seen out there is web browsers with dir set to auto and using properties like padding-start instead of padding-left.
If I start a block with an LTR character the content is automatically left-aligned and vice versa.
The annoying issue comes up when you have bidi characters in the middle of RTL (e.g. Comma or exclamation mark), all tools I've currently seen just break, I have no idea where the cursor is, or where it will move to when I press my arrow keys. I would prefer that bidi characters are treated the same way as the paragraph or block they're in.
I wrote an article a while back with some GIFs that showcases these difficulties:
I've not found any software that gets it all right when it comes to mixed direction content, but for RTL-only then most of the popular word processors (e.g. Google Docs) are quite good with some tweaking.
Thanks for posting this, I was brought up the same way. It's very uncomfortable for me to have eye contact in a conversation, I usually just do it when greeting people.
I wonder if they managed to solve the text blurriness issues. On my Quest 2 I tried using Immersed, Virtual Desktop, and other software to create virtual monitors in VR.
Text was always very blurry no matter how much I played with resolution, monitor sizes, or distances. Images and video always looked great but for reading text it was completely unusable.
For $1500 coupled with them marketing it for work, I would hope they've solved this issue.
