Similarly, I'm intrigued by the possibility of using it for coding whilst aboard a sailboat, where having multiple large physical screens isn't a possibility due to limited space and lack of suitable mounting surfaces. Very curious to see how tolerable the UX is in an environment that's almost always experiencing some degree of motion independent of the user.

It’s amazing to me what people will do to avoid being present in the moment. You’re on a sailboat, enjoy it, smell the ocean, feel the water on your face, breathe deeply and take it all in. If you’re…

I don’t have unlimited PTO, but it sure is nice to shut my laptop at 5 and be somewhere beautiful. I don’t have that luxury at home and it’s a huge perk with my current job.

When I’m on PTO, my laptop doesn’t go with me. I absolutely use all my PTO every year.

Wow, alright, strong endorsement. I might have to pick one up afterall. Thanks!

Go get a demo at an Apple Store. They won't show you Mac Virtual Display and the clarity of the AVP/iPad apps is good, pictures/experiences are breathtaking. MVD is not that clear, full stop. Also, try to resize an app with text down to the size you would use for a window on your computer. You can't. I constantly found myself wishing to make apps smaller but you can't and so you get limited quickly on what you can fi…

Alright I can definitely say Apple in store support has gone downhill since years ago when Jobs was around and they were more luxury feel, not to date myself too much.

Signed up for a demo, booked a week in advance, got there and waited the entire length of the demo (30 min) to even have the one person doing demos get to me. Then, no way for them to show the only thing I care about for this, which is viewing a display to see if working is possible. Not only that, but unlike Quest demos I’ve done, there seemed to Be a very strict demo flow. Might as well have just watched a video.

Welp, going to just cost them money instead since they have a 14 day return policy so planning on “demoing” myself. I’ll keep it if it can actually do this but 80% sure they’ll be processing a return from me in two weeks.

Weird way to try to sell an expensive device. Also seeing returns are like 50% which aligns with them not actually letting people demo beyond a set path to find if they want it or not.

I almost returned mine for that exact reason until I used it in bed before going to sleep. I have never fallen asleep faster. I know it sounds really strange that a computer strapped to my face helps me sleep but I guess something about the whole immersive environment really helps. I also don’t feel the pressure on my head when I’m lying down.

Are you able to stay completely still with your face pointing up while sleeping the whole night?? It hurts (and wake me up) in just a few minutes if I happen to fall sleep with my regular glasses on.

Usually I wake up at some point in the middle of the night, I am a very light sleeper. At that point I just take it off and fall back asleep. I usually don’t even remember doing that by the morning.

Sounds like you have the right idea! Are you permanently mobile?

As permanently mobile as a wife and young kid allow. We spent 3 months on the road 2 summers ago and had a great time!

I expect our radius to get smaller as our child gets older and goes to school, but we are very passionate about being outdoors as much as possible.

For example - I helped build a mutually accessible structure in a national forest, and my favorite work days are out there. We installed solar last summer, so it’s workable year round now.
