Cool to see this, it's a cool in-between step for not having additional wraparound screens or a VR headset.

I used to run a similar software[1] for when I was really into playing F1 racing games. However one of the problems I found was the initial disconnect in your head and eye movement that took some getting used to.

For example, if you want to look left to see an upcoming turn, naturally your eyes move before your head, and your head follows after. With this software enabled, you have to consciously inverse the process where your head moves a direction, but your eyes still remain looking forward at the screen.

It took a some getting used to and resulting in some dizziness afterwards, but was fun.

I'm somewhat confused to why Google needed to open source the original Pebble source code for this project to exist?

Was it not possible to already create a comparible e-ink screen, long life battery, smart watch without the source code? Is it the pebble branding itself that is important somehow?

The entire point of TFA is that the ability to go fast is a force multiplier for being productive in the first place.
