I just had an idea.
I was somewhat intrigued by why people would recreate the same kind of setup in AR with monitor screens. Ok you get more of them, but at some point more screens is just distracting.
What if instead this was the occasion for a true AR experience. Like instead of popping up a monitor, you can open a textbook. As in a physical text book sitting on your desk, each page would be covered in qr codes or whatever uniquely identifying that page. Then the vision pro could fill in the page with a computer generated UI: buttons, text inputs and so on.
And then you could spread all these pages around your desk and actually touch them, and carry them around. Imagine your code being on a sheet of paper instead of in one window.
Imagine your trello board being actual postit notes stuck on your wall that you can unstick and edit.
Imagine your wall full of papers, each of them showing some monitoring aspect of your system.
Like all your browser tabs are displayed on the wall.
Jesus I am excited
- billconan 3y agothe problem is, virtual screens can float in the air. A physical piece of paper can't.
- ugh123 3y agoI wouldn't want to deal with losing papers, ripping them, etc. why not have the AR create them for you? Seems like you want some extra realism surrounding your screen space. So have a life-like book where individual pages (easy to turn hopefully) are different browser tabs.
- d--b 3y agoReplacing a paper would be just like opening a new browser tab. A virtual book can’t give you the same level of interaction as a physical one. Virtual interaction are clunky at best.
- karim79 3y agoSounds like something you can have or enjoy in real life, and without having an expensive 600-650g weight on your head. (I do like the idea of virtual postits, mind you).
- d--b 3y agoWhat do you mean I can have this in real life? I am talking about having a bunch of paper sheets, each being its own small screen.
- vedran 3y agoSounds almost like https://dynamicland.org/ https://dynamicland.org/ or https://folk.computer/ https://folk.computer/.
- precompute 3y agoIt would be much easier to define a virtual keyboard that helps you switch layouts.
