Personally, I'd like a better mobile solution so I can walk to, or around, a park, etc and work for an hour.
What’s really missing is a better way to input into a device while not sitting.
Add a little voice input, eye tracking, and gesture input:

- seltzered_ 7y agoJust sharing for inspiration, this is the setups the google glass researchers have used (2015): https://youtu.be/sk7cjmYrKck?t=473 https://youtu.be/sk7cjmYrKck?t=473 - mentions the twiddler: https://twiddler.tekgear.com/ https://twiddler.tekgear.com/ - ..and emacs speak: http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ - not mentioned, but there's also been more recent startups like tap: https://www.tapwithus.com/ https://www.tapwithus.com/

Didn't quite get the traction I wanted, so put it on hiatus. Been meaning to find a place to revamp it in some fashion but been busy with other projects/work since.
