Ralle654yI love my valve index, but I would think that the resolution when looking at the text would be too low and the text would look grainy. I prefer looking at screens instead, no matter how many screens u can have in vr
-
Root797264yI’ve considered building this ever since I heard about VR. However, @Ralle has a point: the resolution might be too low.
Thankfully there are new nanometer scale pixel displays in development which could remedy that issue entirely.
Soon I might start working entirely in VR đ -
stub1444yThis would be better in Halolens. Should have bought one when I had the money. AR is better than VR. I have a Vive and as everyone else has stated it's hard to read stuff.

This reminds me of Buddha box from south park. I would really love check it out tho.

As a VR headset owner : it isn't.
Grid effect is still a thing, and while it doesn't affect you much when, say, chopping zombies into pieces with a virtual battle axe, it sure does when reading.
Even the books in Skyrim VR were a PITA. -
bioDan56224yI got a Oculus Rift and RTX 2080Ti. Great for gaming and 3D modeling. Not for reading or development afaik
-
People were wondering on some other post (too lazy to look for it) why anybody would want a 10,000 dpi screen or whatever it was. Well now you know.
-
@RememberMe I'm wondering why people would want it as a normal monitor as you can't see a difference after 4k anymore from what I've heard.
But for this, it would be awesome! -
Root797264y@linuxxx I can see pixels on 4Ks. VR headsets are like looking though window bug screens to me — very difficult to look at unless the image is moving.
If VR screen resolution improved, I could see doing work in VR, but currently it would just give me a headache. âšī¸ -
yehaaw25684ySo did anyone actually tried to code with VR or you all THINK it wouldn’t work with current headsets and their resolutions?
-
@yehaaw Well... You'd have to type completely blind, as you have a VR headset on your eyes.
That is, unless you use some point and click method to input... Which would be a serious PITA.
Then there's the issue of resolution, at least on low to mid end devices. Reading larger portions is painful and exhausting to the eyes.
That said, I never tried coding in VR... But I tried some of the required activities, so I can put two and two together. -
Root797264y@ilPinguino @yehaaw You two don’t touch type? Really?
I can’t remember the last time I looked at my keyboard. -
Root797264y@ilPinguino home/end are above the arrows in the middle; page up/down on the right. Delete bottom left. I don’t ever use insert unless I’m sshing and using vim.
Function keys on my keyboard are in groups of four, so they’re really easy to distinguish.
The only thing I have trouble with is finding % and ^. I keep getting them backwards for whatever reason.
