Choosing a VR Workspace App

Overay Desk vs. Immersed vs. Virtual Desktop

If you’re looking for a VR workspace app in 2026, you’ll most likely end up comparing Overay Desk, Immersed, and Virtual Desktop.

All three apps let you bring your computer into VR through PC streaming, but they take different approaches. From pricing and virtual monitor support to platform compatibility and workspace philosophy, each offers a unique experience.

Let’s start with a quick comparison.

Virtual Desktop: The Proven Remote Desktop Solution

Virtual Desktop has long been one of the most popular ways to access a PC in VR.

Its low-latency streaming makes it suitable not only for productivity but also for PCVR gaming. As of 2026, it’s available for a one-time purchase of $24.99 on the Meta Store and supports up to three virtual monitors on Quest 3 (two on other supported headsets).

If your goal is simply to use your existing PC inside VR with reliable performance, Virtual Desktop remains an excellent choice.

Immersed: Built for Productivity and Collaboration

Immersed focuses on creating a productive virtual workspace.

It connects to Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, allowing users to create multiple virtual monitors while offering collaboration features such as shared workspaces and whiteboards. The free plan supports up to three virtual monitors, while Premium expands that limit to five along with additional features.

If you frequently work with teammates or want a collaboration-focused workspace, Immersed is a strong option.

Overay Desk: Build Your Own XR Workspace

Overay Desk is an XR workspace app available on Meta Quest, PICO, and Galaxy XR. It requires a PC connection for virtual monitors and is available as a one-time purchase for $24.99 with no subscription.

But Overay Desk is designed to do more than simply mirror your desktop into VR.

Our vision is to let users build an XR workspace that matches the way they actually work.

Instead of only placing virtual monitors in front of you, you can arrange your workspace however you like—position displays anywhere, organize your tools around you, and turn your physical room into a personalized spatial workspace.

That’s what Build Your Own XR Workspace means.

To support this vision, Overay Desk introduces Workspace Objects, a growing collection of spatial tools designed specifically for XR.

• Up to 5 freely positioned Virtual Monitors
• Passthrough Workspace that naturally blends your real environment with digital content
• Workspace Objects
  • Note for capturing ideas instantly
  • Mind Map for organizing thoughts visually
  • XR Pen for writing and drawing directly in your space
• Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support

These aren’t isolated features.

Together, they create an XR workspace that adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you into a predefined layout.

And this is only the beginning.

We’ll continue expanding Workspace Objects with new tools and interactive elements, giving users even more freedom to build workspaces that fit the way they think and work.

Which App Is Right for You?

All three applications are excellent choices. The best one depends on what you’re looking for.

• Virtual Desktop is ideal if your priority is reliable remote desktop access and PCVR gaming.
• Immersed is best for users who value advanced productivity tools and collaboration features.
• Overay Desk is designed for people who want to create their own XR workspace instead of simply viewing their desktop in VR.

Using multiple virtual monitors already makes VR more productive.

But designing the space itself around the way you work unlocks an entirely different experience.

Build Your Own XR Workspace.

Overay Desk will continue expanding Workspace Objects and introducing new XR experiences that help users create workspaces that truly belong to them.
