      I don’t understand why it’s not a thing now. Valve Index resolution is already good enough for reading virtual monitors.

      Camera passthrough a small rectangular window where your desk is at. (so you can see your hands and keyboard/mouse if you need it,

      And you’re done…

          Current VR headsets don’t really produce text you’d want to read?

          Yes they do. I currently have one that is perfectly fine readable.

          Yeah, I can have multiple monitors in VR setting.

          But what hasn’t happened is

          1 - No one has made an app with a camera passthrough window to your desk.

          2 - Windows for some reason still has a problem with multi-monitors unless you actually physically have monitors mounted.

      and in a few years + a couple of days, you’ll realize that having to turn your whole head that often gets pretty uncomfortable pretty quick

    Legitimately what is the ultrawide monitor that’s angled on the desk below the main center monitor? I’ve been looking for one of these to use for music production

      I have a guy that does this. He puts so much effort in weird mobility solutions (ie: Dual monitors on a rolling table so he can work outside sometimes) or having a setup like this with TV’s, monitors etc all cobbled together.

      Would you be surprised to hear hes not the most organized or efficient.

        For real. It’s so much better to think about using the screen space you already have. People can do what they want, but I am happy with one screen, a tiling window manager, and workspaces. I can have a dozen or more things going on, and have it packed on a workspace. Fullscreen a window of I need to, then pop it back.

        It’s incredibly efficient. I see stuff like this, and I imagine what it’s like to have text several feet away, screens covered by other screens, lots of neck fatigue, all the monitor borders… like it’s truly bad. It feels like someone watched a lot of TV and “felt” that this was the best way to do it without trying it.

        Butt I digress. It’s not my setup. If they’re efficient with it, more power to them.

    That monitor setup is making me feel all tingly. Legit question: how much would a setup like that cost?
