I think that while the first revision won't be terribly practical as full monitor replacement, it will probably be the biggest step towards that to date — something you might pull out when you want a canvas unmitigated by physical size constraints that's entirely free of the distracting and fiddly scroll/pan/zoom interactions.
It could be pretty incredible for travel, where you're typically stuck with a small 10"-14" screen. For my day to day work in IDEs for example I'd take a virtual ~24" 4k screen over a real 13" one any day.
- chrisjj 3y agoHmm. If it is entirely free of scroll interactions, how will I read to the bottom of a typical web page?
- jwells89 3y agoThat situation sounds like the user is seated, which is not really served well by a large screen. I’m thinking more whiteboard/pinboard/etc sorts of use cases, where you’re typically standing and can walk around. Think Apple Freeform, Obsidian Canvas, or any other program where you have an infinite canvas (maps, etc). I could definitely see it being nice to be able to throw one of those up on a wall instead of having it boxed into a comparably small monitor.
