We agree :) Our goal is for the Simula One to be so good that it's the strictly-more-productive choice over a single-screen laptop (and also over most PC setups too). Here's our pitch for why VR Computers can boost your productivity:
- Provide unlimited screens of any size
- Improve work focus & immersion (like "noise-cancelling headphones for your eyes")
- Fully controllable with just a keyboard (with hand gestures, eye gaze tracking, etc)
- Allow for fully portable, multi-screen computing
- Usable outdoors (no laptop glare) in places like backyards, urban balconies, & parks
- Provide more privacy (no one around you can snoop on your screen)
- Compact design takes up less desk space than PCs/Laptops
- Promote better posture & freedom of movement: with a VR Computer (VRC) you can change positions, sit up, lean back, stand, lie down, or even walk while you compute
> Fully controllable with just a keyboard (with hand gestures, eye gaze tracking, etc)
If it is precise enough, this would be very pleasant to work with, to the extent that you describe, a productivity boost over working with monitors and a mouse.
Glancing at the start button, it being detected with no latency and high precision, and then I press say CTRL + ENTER and I get a left click.
Fresh air, feel the weather, hear the sounds. Some people can probably crack open a window and get that, but some might need to go for a walk to the park or something like that. It would also be a game changer to be able to take a fully fledged setup to co-working spaces, cafes and so on.
I have aesthetic hesitations toward all this which is really shallow I know, you will probably look like a dork sitting with VR on at a cafe. But imagine where this could lead, if the technology keeps getting more compact or even just popular enough that it's the norm.
