i use: - wrist band to hold a smartphone; - use VNC client on it to connect to rpi4 in a running vest; - twiddler keyboard and joystick paired to rpi as input device. This hybrid approach with smartphone as a display works better for me than head-mounted display.

Personally, I'd like a better mobile solution so I can walk to, or around, a park, etc and work for an hour.
What’s really missing is a better way to input into a device while not sitting.
Add a little voice input, eye tracking, and gesture input:

#33I moved my desk outside in the last couple of years when the British weather obliged. A few notes: - temperature. if the temperature is right for you, chances are that it's a bit too warm for your electronics. Chips get hotter, which can result in all sorts of problems (particularly with big screens and graphics-intensive apps, but modern storage as well is often at risk by poor cooling). - cables. Even if you are in…

#35The rain is the one I am concerned about the most. And it is covered very lightly.
tequar enclosures, for example

#36This setup feels so... maximalist.
Whatever works I suppose but you can go work under a tree or whatever for a LOT less investment in time and equipment.

#40I used an identical zero gravity chair and a lap keyboard. After about 8 months, I developed serious issues with my wrists (pain all the time) I went back to a traditional setup with an ergonomic split keyboard so my wrists were completely straight, and my wrists only slowly recovered. I'm now on 6 months of not using a computer at all and finally feeling close to 100% My advice is leave ergonomics up to people who k…
I wonder how much of the wrist pain has to do with diet and exercise. In my teens and early twenties I had chronic wrist pain. Now in my mid twenties I've been doing weight training that includes wrist/grip strength exercises (wrist curls, dead hangs, plate pinches) and making sure I get enough protein. The wrist pain is gone and hasn't come back for years. The reason I'm mentioning protein is that apparently joints…
But since you speculated, I was on 120-150g protein per day, and I am now on 80-100g with 10 hours of hiking (very little wrist exercise, all in one direction) per day.
