Looks exciting! It would be amazing if the headset turns out to be useful for coding without a monitor. Say, in the park.

- z3t4 1y agoIt's doable. But you need 8k per eye to read text comfortable. But what would you use for input?
- cadamsdotcom 1y agoA compact keyboard and an accelerometer based mouse replacement. All wireless of course. There are a few devices on the market that’d fit the bill.
- gdown 1y agoLike a wii-mote kind of thing? Is there anything out that's good enough for general desktop usage? I'd be really interested if it's actually at a usable state.

- p1necone 1y agoBeing in the park kinda loses its lustre when you've got a headset strapped to your face - I'd prefer a laptop with a screen that's still visible in sunlight.
- thaumasiotes 1y ago> I'd prefer a laptop with a screen that's still visible in sunlight. I don't understand why Amazon worked so hard to replace their neutral gray Kindles with "Kindle PaperWhite". Paper, the material, is so white that trying to read it in sunlight will hurt your eyes. Why would you want a white reading surface instead of a gray one?
- danudey 1y agoIt's not actually paper-white, though, thankfully. It's more just 'not as dingy gray'
- seba_dos1 1y agoThe main shtick of Kindle Paperwhite, aside of the obvious ability to read in the dark, is not how white it is but rather how it can remove shadows when outside or in brightly lit rooms. You don't really notice this effect until you disable backlight and suddenly can notice the shadows cast by your fingers.
- thaumasiotes 1y ago> aside of the obvious ability to read in the dark My Kindle Keyboard came with a case that hooked into it to draw power for a nice, orange booklight. It was a much better reading-in-bed experience than the Kindle Oasis with its uniform glow. :(
- cadamsdotcom 1y agoYeah I’d go a sunglasses-like setup - preferably driven by my phone. But big tech companies have yet to take a shine to that use case.
