A friend once said “There’s all these studies about how bad sitting is for you. Now there are even studies about how bad standing desks are for you. Nobody ever says anything bad about laying down so I just try to do that as much as possible.” I still laugh. Perhaps true in part though.

IME it's not sitting or standing or lying down that's injurious, it's not moving . My pain to a large extent went away when I stopped staying so still. Now I change my posture on the regular, from leaning against the backrest to sitting away from it to taking little breaks to pace around a bit. Similarly, I used to get eye strain from all the screen time. Until I moved to an office with a view and I found myself star…
If you are suffering from back pain caused by sitting and have trouble sleeping, I used this video [1] to relieve the pain for a while. It helped so much that after 2-3 weeks of doing it every day 2-3 times, I was able to sleep normally again. I also slept on the ground for a while since my mattress was too soft. I now own a very firm mattress.
In college I had some back problems, so I improvised (an incredibly unwise) lay-down desk by putting my monitor face down on two chairs and just lying with my face underneath it. This was a heavy CRT, not a modern LCD monitor. (Did I mention this being incredibly unwise...?)
I have a standing desk that earns me a closed cyan ring every day.
Cool project, but would not be one that I would use.
I'd wonder if a split keyboard like the Dactyl Manuform wouldn't be more comfortable instead.

Laying down is not a good thing for my back. I can't even sit with my feet up (AKA "in a recliner"). I have a standing desk that earns me a closed cyan ring every day. Cool project, but would not be one that I would use.
Is this referring to some tracking software?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Once VR is high enough fidelity, we should be able to just use a VR headset and virtual monitors, hopefully. There is even pretty good hand tracking software such that if you look at your hands with the VR headset on you'll see your hands, and you can also project the keyboard for the times when you need to look at your hands and / or keyboard.

Also, this article about how different distances between eyes, pupils etc could affect VR was fascinating: http://tomforsyth1000.github.io/blog.wiki.html#%5B%5BVR%20op...
