I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    A VR headset that is lightweight, has a decent battery, and has controls dictated by gesture and eye focus (so I can finally start sketching out 3D geometric objects and exploring a fun idea I had for a model of hyperbolic space)

      VR should normalize having external power. Whether it’s a cord to a wall or battery pack. The head is a really bad place to put weight.

        They’re putting the batteries in the headset??

        Sometimes I’m glad I’m not rich because being rich in this world just means getting the best of the stupid ideas we all have.

        Like, make me rich in a world full of competent people any day. But rich here? Nah.

      Im doing that with Quests HMDs, including with my own code e.g https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/text-code-xr-engine/ and… far from perfect but works today. If you need more lightweight but not standalone then BigScreen might have a better option. Gestures do work well but aren’t super precise for now but I imagine the trend will keep up, especially with Vision Pro.
