Yeah I dabbled super briefly with VR development and what I actually struggled with is how annoying it is to have to keep taking off and putting on the HMD to do iterative development. I really want something I can keep on my head and flip it down into view. The weirdest psychological effect of going in and out of VR like that for me was a couple of times I turned to look at my scene while not in VR expecting the item I was editing to be there. A little like that split second after waking up from a dream and expecting something from the dream to have actually happened.

Maybe the resolution isn't good enough yet but I really think the solution is to have a virtual screen inside the VR environment so that you never have to take off the HMD. Reminds me of the scene in The Explorers wherein the kid would type in his computer and control that sphere in 3D space.

    That article is a waste of time and only serves to muddy the waters, much like what happened to tilting trains. There are plenty of ways the mentioned issues could be ameliorated, though there's no way past the resolution issue, right now.

Oh goody! I __really__ like horror sci-fi. Watching something like Alien(s/3) or Even Horizon in VR is going to be my personal "killer app". Imagine falling asleep and wakinh up with the headset on to some bizarro warped imagery. Or your own living space subtley wronged. Sign me up!

Biggest lifehack I've discovered for ameliorating this problem: close your eyes before putting on or taking off the headset. Really helps.
