As a very nearsighted programmer suffering from increasing age-related farsightedness, I often fantasize about a VR headset that would allow me to comfortably focus (say 6 feet away while wearing contacts) on a huge virtual tmux session for coding.

I don't know if this is even remotely a possibility but it sure would beat dealing with constant CSS (can't see s*t)

IIRC, Nreal Light is 2 m focus distance. Crisp 1080p. Weight/fit... I'd perhaps diy a hat or strap for long-duration use, depending on face shape. Reddit suggests newer Nreal Air is 4 m.

Prescription inserts (we're working with vendors on this) are possible, and the focus distance of our headset (and most headsets, I think) is in that region.
