• Current VR headsets don’t really produce text you’d want to read for 8 hours a day. We need “retina” level displays (which I believe even Apple hasn’t managed to pull off with their VR headset yet) that completely hide the pixels for that to work.

    If you own a VR headset, there are several Linux and Windows window managers that will make this work. I believe HoloLens showcased theoretical floating windows years ago but I haven’t seen anything from HoloLens in a while, I think it went military/industrial operator exclusive.

      Yes they do. I currently have one that is perfectly fine readable.

      Yeah, I can have multiple monitors in VR setting.

      But what hasn’t happened is

      1 - No one has made an app with a camera passthrough window to your desk.

      2 - Windows for some reason still has a problem with multi-monitors unless you actually physically have monitors mounted.

      people seem to forget that a 4k monitor is fine if you’re looking at it from 2 feet away, but in a vr headset it’s right in front of your eyeball. you will see the pixels
