Interesting. I've been playing a bit with the Oculus Rift DK2, and if I understand things correctly[1], if/when they up the resolution one more "level" beyond the DK2, it should actually be possible to use for many kinds of work. UI design people will need to realize that mile-high letters on the horizon are better than thin lettering close to the head, first (I'm looking at you, Elite:Dangerous docking bulletin board etc).
No anchors in the page, I'm referring to: "Will the Oculus Rift cause eye strain after extended use?
The Oculus Rift causes very little eye strain, particularly compared to other standard displays or headmounts.
Normally, when you take a break from using a monitor or TV, the idea is to give your eyes a chance to focus and converge on a distant plane. This is a natural position of rest for your eyes.
With the Oculus Rift, your eyes are actually focused and converged in the distance at all times. It’s a pretty neat optical feature."
