I think VR will be the future of a lot of things. I used to think it was sort of fad, like 3D movies but maybe a little cooler.

Then our GIS department bought one and I’ve tried it a few times now. I always feel constrained when I go back to my two monitors.

The interface and technology in general has some way to go, but I think VR will be the biggest tech revolution in my lifetime and I’ve been around since before the refrigerator was a common thing.

I'm really glad to hear that you enjoy VR. I have a similar feeling when using BigScreen to do work. All I really need is like twice the resolution so that text is clearer and we can essentially have unlimited scalable desktops.

Legible text that you can read without squinting and tracked keyboards will be the floodgate moment I think. I'd really like to see how an IDE can evolve in VR space, especially with collaborate features. It could probably make online offices a regular occurrence.

How does keyboard input work? Does it track the position of the keyboard and then show a digital equivalent in VR? Because I think most people can’t touch type essentially blindfolded.
