Once I tried one of the new VR helmets, it was clear to me that these devices should have some kind of role in improving productivity- They are not to be dismissed merely as gaming devices.
The problem is, I really have very little conception so far as to HOW they can improve productivity. For one, the idea of using them merely as "a virtual giant monitor" is really an unsatisfying approach.
- personjerry 10y agoAh, but it is not only a giant monitor, but also a portable one. Much easier to carry one of these babies than, say, lugging two monitors around. Imagine, for example, coding on a beach!
- zactato 10y agoWhy are you even at the beach in this scenario?
- erikpukinskis 10y agoI take frequent breaks when I work. Sometimes I just need to take a little walk for 30 minutes or an hour to think through some code. The beach would be a nice place for that.
- corysama 10y agoOnce HDR headsets come out, you won't even need to be near a beach to do that ;) https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/3w408o/valve_created_a_hdr_prototype_headset_in_their/ https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/3w408o/valve_create...
- erikpukinskis 10y agoI'm very bullish on VR, but it will be a very long time before a HDR headset creates an experience close to what it feels like to be at the ocean.
