Programming in VR Desktop: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula (see the README for a link to a video of it in action). This allows you to (i) distribute your work tasks intuitively across space; (ii) completely zap out all distractions within a VR headset; (iii) completely eliminate the mouse and work 100% on a keyboard (VR Desktop allows you to click and browse with eye gaze). It takes a bit of practice to learn the keyboard shorcuts (spawning terminals, moving windows, etc with keyboard shortcuts), but once you learn it, it can feel very immersive/productive.

This is the reason why I want a VR headset! Currently I'm a student and can't afford, however I will be doing it soon! Question: Have you removed your screens completely and use VR 100%, or do you still have a screens? (My idea is to replace the screens completely)

What VR hardware do you use this with?

I have to admit.. I love this. Can you really _use_ it though? For long periods of work, day after day? Or is it just a gimmick?

I was imagining something like this for fully immersive computer work. Especially for development and research. It can give you infinite screens. One better idea, would be to tie in VR with some front cameras, and then overlay your windows and documents at specific spots in your room. Like have your calendar on the wall. It becomes literally, a wall calendar. Then a todo list on your desk. Some encyclopedias on your bookshelf. Etc. This way, your working documents becomes grounded in your actual physical reality. And this gives you memory, of where that document was. It’s like how my desk may be messy, but to me it’s perfectly organized. I know exactly where that receipt was placed, in that pile of papers in the far corner of the table. Being able to recognize hand movements is also a plus, as this will make it easier to interact and manipulate your virtual objects.
