Ask HN: Do you code in a VR headset?
How's it going?

No, but I do occasionally check https://www.reddit.com/r/HMDprogramming/ to see what others are doing.
I tried, but the resolution of my original vive is not sufficient. Also not seeing your keyboard, mouse and hands (even knowing touch-typing) is quite a hindrance.
Overall I don't think VR is going to be there anytime soon. AR has a better chance, but they need to seriously increase the quality / size of the displays.
Virtual reality with virtual cues about your real environment could be a solution to the keyboard problem.
Another solution to the keyboard problem would be to get rid of the keyboard altogether to be replaced by a non intrusive brain computer interface.

yeah that's not for tomorrow either. Even if they managed to get a brain interface to get as accurate as Alexa's voice recognition (and that is a monstrously GIANT if), that is never going precise enough to work with. Same as people in the 90s thinking soon we'd all use voice recognition to type documents.
I would like to, but text is hard to read in VR. Perhaps we need a Minority Report like graphical coding interface to go with the VR headset.
Yes. Within the natural simulation of the world that is the phenomenal field (the aggregate sensory datum) presented to consciousness. Why would you want to work within a simulation within a simulation? This VR is guaranteed for life, and without a subscription model (excluding taxes of course) :p
Can't program in the parent realm (yet?)
