AR glasses brings great accessibility improvements, especially those who are bedridden; I wrote the need-gap for wearable low latency computer displays[1] ~6 years ago when I was in bed recovering from a spinal fusion surgery as the only option available to me were those unwieldy bed mounts for monitors and it requires help from others to adjust the angles.

- wordpad 2y agoSince when is having a laptop on your lap or by your side a problem in bed? That's my default wfh setup. I even have a 2nd monitor on a standard arm mounted to my bedrest for when I need it. I do also use Xreal One but only when I'm trying not to wake my partner.
- em-bee 2y agoto use a laptop you need to be sitting up. when you are bedridden many times you can't do that. and even healthy, sitting in bed with my legs stretched out is uncomfortable for longer periods of time. not to mention most people would balk at their partner doing that when they share a bed. consider yourself lucky. but do check that you are giving enough attention to your partner otherwise. i have at least one friend who got divorced specifically because he was more interested in computers than his wife.

The question was about a laptop as contrast to AR glasses. AR glasses are worse here.
- throwaway290 2y agoWhat? Showing attention with laptop is much more difficult than with glasses on
- Retr0id 2y agoWhat? You literally can't look away from a pair of AR glasses.
- throwaway290 2y agoAttention is not only in the eyes
- Dylan16807 2y agoSure, it's also in whether things are still going and it's impossible to tell with the glasses.
- throwaway290 2y agoThey are not opaque. They are AR. You can see how things are going. But I meant touch and that stuff.

- Abishek_Muthian 2y agoThere are people who can only lie flat on the bed and can't sit without support.

- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 2y agoI am partially bedridden ... so far mackbook air remoting to my desktop PC looks like the best solution - it's light, sturdy, stays cool, has decent resolution and excellent battery life. The only thing I don't like is non-standard keyboard.
