Ask HN: Do you code in a VR headset?
How's it going?
- luckylion 8y agoNo, but I do occasionally check https://www.reddit.com/r/HMDprogramming/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HMDprogramming/ to see what others are doing.
- CyberFonic 8y agoI would like to, but text is hard to read in VR. Perhaps we need a Minority Report like graphical coding interface to go with the VR headset.
- through 8y agoYes. Within the natural simulation of the world that is the phenomenal field (the aggregate sensory datum) presented to consciousness. Why would you want to work within a simulation within a simulation? This VR is guaranteed for life, and without a subscription model (excluding taxes of course) :p
- julienreszka 8y agoCan't program in the parent realm (yet?)
- iraldir 8y agoI tried, but the resolution of my original vive is not sufficient. Also not seeing your keyboard, mouse and hands (even knowing touch-typing) is quite a hindrance. Overall I don't think VR is going to be there anytime soon. AR has a better chance, but they need to seriously increase the quality / size of the displays.
- julienreszka 8y agoVirtual reality with virtual cues about your real environment could be a solution to the keyboard problem. Another solution to the keyboard problem would be to get rid of the keyboard altogether to be replaced by a non intrusive brain computer interface.
- iraldir 8y agoyeah that's not for tomorrow either. Even if they managed to get a brain interface to get as accurate as Alexa's voice recognition (and that is a monstrously GIANT if), that is never going precise enough to work with. Same as people in the 90s thinking soon we'd all use voice recognition to type documents.
