Hopefully it is just a question of time before we have retina resolution even for panels that are a few inches from our eyes and magnified with optics.

- mhd 10y agoNever mind properly using the hardware and its capabilities. A headtracking VR setup has other constraints than a static rectangle. Arranging overviews, subpanels, minor buffers could probably be improved. On the other hand, we still haven't escaped the VT100 in 99% of our IDEs so I'm not holding my breath for an ultra-immersive new-fangled "I can breathe code" style.
- empath75 10y agoYeah, projecting a 2d desktop onto the surface of a sphere is I guess pretty neat, but not a great use of 3d space. Why not have applications be actual physical objects you can walk around? Why do they need to have 2d view ports? What if you could pick an app up and turn it to the side to change settings on it with physical sliders and knobs? Just sort of pie-in-the-sky-- imagine a programming language that worked like a 3d spreadsheet, where your functions where literal 3d objects you could wire together, and the parameters had physical affordances so you could adjust them...
