   I’ve also been following development of the Simula One[0], but it will be really hard to compete with Apple’s design and technical execution, and I’m afraid it could stay in the same category as Linux Desktop. In this light, having a compan

   I’m sorry if you feel that way and looking at it now I do agree. Next time I’ll provide a more thorough analysis that is more in line with the standards of HackerNews. I was mostly curious whether the sentiment of the post resonates, as I f

   I’ve tried it with the Quest Pro, but latency and connectivity issues in combination with the clunky Quest operating system and confusing Immersed user interface, pushed me away. I want it to just work. Put on the headset and immediately be

   I’m curious how well this could work for using it as a portable multi-monitor setup. If that works well in combination with my MacBook, I’ll buy it in a heartbeat. Imagine just sitting anywhere, but immediately having 3 large vertical scr

   I’d say the most important thing that helps me not look at screens, is being together with friends and family. Other than that, maybe volunteering somewhere could be a good change of pace compared to sitting behind computers all day?

   I admire your work ethic and perseverance. One thing I personally learned from trying to build a startup this way, is that the problems you’re building a solution for become very narrow as your main source of inspiration becomes startup cu

    First impressions: - resizing the window creates white borders when the content of the window hasn’t been updated yet to reflect the new window size. these are a bit jarring / look non-native. - I try to keep electron apps to a minimum

    Unity still has a more mature product compared to Godot, so for many projects it won’t be feasible to switch to Godot. Unity is easier to use, has more fully featured and higher quality rendering pipelines, more integrations with other soft

    I think Apple has played it incredibly safe with their announcement, and I did not get excited by the way they presented potential use cases for the device, as they didn’t venture much further than “what if you could have a screen, but then

    You’ll grow dependent on a technology that might not be sustainable to run on the long term, or will increase in price. Once the product seizes to be affordable, you’d need to switch away and relearn how you did certain things. A similar t

    I had the same experience with other headsets such as the Varjo XR-3, which feels like you’re looking at a camera feed. However, the Quest 2 and Pro apply some smart reprojection to correct this, and it feels like everything is almost exact
