@theptip I understand your skepticism, but people significantly underrate the quality of text that can be achieved in VR, even on today's hardware. Simula in particular has put in a lot of work in text resolution optimization (something that earlier VR Desktops failed completely at). This makes me able to use Simula for hours at a time, even on the old HTC Vive (2016 hardware). I won't lie and say it is equally impressive as a 4K monitor is today, but it's definitely usable and allows you to garner the other benefits of VR Desktop (10x more screens, 10x the size, 10x the focus/work immersions).
RE headset size, I agree that today they are much too bulky. But they are still good enough to "live in the future" and get serious work done in.
If you have an HTC Vive/Vive Pro/Valve Index, I can help you install Simula/give it a try. Contact me at george.w.singer [at] gmail [dot] com if you're interested.
- Dylan16807 7y agoPlease don't post the same thing over and over. But I don't know about "significantly underrate" either. The screens in the video you linked are 93x44 characters. It's certainly usable, but just my main screen holds 8 windows that size with a generous font and room to spare.
