I think the keyboard in such setup needs a disruption, because it is the last piece which keeps us in the old world of typing machine on a table. I am thinking about some kind of wearable keyboard, either attached to trousers on laps, or kind of gloves. But gloves usually have no tactile response.

Why so physical? Researchers ate already able to translate thoughts into text[1][2] by wearing a special cap with a fair amount of accuracy.

  That's promising. But hardly working now with noisy environment like park or a car, and AR screen adds its mental noise too.

The setup in the post plus a speech to text system and aidertmux and aider would be sufficient for a very wide range of tasks. Or a multi screen setup with the phone as a multimodal input system and the AR as the screen.

I agree and have experimented with related ideas. In a sibling comment thread. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43985513#44016985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43985513#44016985 https://kbd.news/Tackle-keyboard-2549.html https://kbd.news/Tackle-keyboard-2549.html I want to try some version of this next. I’ve tried tap strap (overlaps with glove idea) and I currently use a retractable lap approach, where the keyboard folds out from chest to be used, it’s still too much friction and too awkward. This Tackle keyboard approach is a bit obvious once you see it if one can be fully touch type without crossing middle then a split keyboard mounted on torso could work… perhaps … these things require actually trying I’ve found.
