    So you’ve tried using AR for productivity? How long do you feel comfortable doing it? Using AR as a PC monitor replacement seems like a promising use for the tech, but I can’t imagine wearing a headset for an entire eight hour work day.

      I did this with an original HTC Vive back in the day. Developed a full VR game in Unity on my PC, which I called “Nearly Headless Nick” because it didn’t have a monitor attached. The only real problem was the pixel density. I got used to the weight of the headset after a while, especially when reclined (the chair takes a lot of the weight off).

      I haven’t before. the index isn’t great for AR. I’ve tried using virtual desktop on index.

      the resolution is the biggest thing holding it back. next would be heat and weight.

      I’m hoping that smaller headsets like above are good enough to to work as a monitor replacement.
