I moved my workspace to VR, here's what I learnt

While nice in theory I think you would need to developing headsets that are less enclosed in order for them to a be a viable option for prolonged work sessions.

I actually quite like it enclosed, I easily can spend 8+ hours in my VR headset… ^.^;

@Hallski

First of all it gets really warm around the eyes (adding to the effect of having two monitors a cm from your eyes to make your eyes really dry) but there are also some technical limitations with current generation that would need to be improved

Oh definitely need a better mesh thing for that then! I have something washable and breathes. It is annoying it didn’t come with a good one though.

@Hallski

Resolution is too low for comfortably reading text all day

Definitely depends on the headset. ^.^;

@Hallski

The headsets are too heavy to wear all day without developing neck pain

I haven’t experienced that after a year now, but perhaps in the future?

@Hallski

The sweet spot where things are not blurry is too limited, meaning you will need to move your head in order to move the focus to where you want to look

Also depends on the headset to various degrees, but even with the best I’ve tried they aren’t perfect for sure.

So what I’m hearing is we need to get rid of the headset and get a human-brain direct interface instead? ^.^
