You "can". I have not tried programming, but I have tried reading.
Resolution is poor, so text display doesn't look great. Not horrible, just not great. However, if you secretly wanted to program using a movie theater display, I guess that would work. I think that's how it would feel like.
The thing is, other than having a gigantic (perceived) display, what's the advantage? We'll still be manipulating text – and you'll have to touch type, because you won't be able to see the keyboard.
We need a lightable-like VR experience before that makes sense.
For watching movies it works. Depending on the person it may be uncomfortable after a while. If you are ok with it, then it is actually nice. The software is not yet there though, the ones I've tried just emulate a movie theater. If/when you can project 3D movies, then it will be great.
I regularly use Reedy through PhoneCast (Samsung GearVR) to read epubs, and the RSVP works good as well. Reading goes almost as well as on my e-ink e-reader with the advantage that I don't have to hold the reader. The resolution on the GearVR is slightly higher then on the Rift, and that pays of while reading. The GearVR is quite heavy though, so I don't want to wear it for more then 30 minutes.
> If/when you can project 3D movies, then it will be great.
Most of the movie playing software for the Gear VR supports 3D movies in a variety of formats. It's the only way I can watch 3D movies at home right now.
Can I use it to e.g. play games on another device, like a PS4?
I thought the PS VR headset would be perfect for this. Unfortunately it requires to be connected by wires which is frustrating. Something like this, but tailored to PS4 would be awesome.
The latencies involved would make you barf in matter of minutes. Streaming over wired ethernet is already barely adequate for action games and VR requires significantly lower latency to feel good.
Using a remote desktop or VNC client through PhoneCast VR (on GearVR) works, I don't know if this Samsung app will be available on Oculus Go, and I see no Remote desktop VR apps. You might be able to stream your desktop as a video stream and use a wireless mouse and keyboard.
I have not seen a way to surround yourself with different desktops in mobile VR. That would be my goal as well. It can be done with a highres Mixed Reality headset which I also have, but they need a Windows PC. That experience is adequate. I realized that I could just as well create my ultimate setup in real life, surround myself with 6 27 inch bezel to bezel Dell screens and stand in the middle.
I can't speak to this specifically, but generally HMD screens are too low resolution to show text well enough for programming. Also (from what I understand), every virtual screen requires a corresponding HDMI port on your machine
You only require the HDMI port used by the Rift. Everything else is rendered as a texture inside the virtual environment. That works today, you can have multiple screens floating around, your Windows desktop, etc.
2. When I first discovered Ghost (last year) and I heard it's using NodeJS I was expecting a beautiful, responsive, SPA blog engine that is fast. After reviewing it and even trying to use it as a platform for a newspaper I found that (It's just wordpress and it's not using the power of javascript to it's full extent.)
Fast => I could and I did built a faster wordpress site.
SPA => Nope
Customizable => Nope.
For me it's not worth the extra capabilities instead of a static blog.
I found gatsby(1) great for all my use cases and with some extra work[2] is more dynamic that ghost.
Great! I'll happily advertise for Ghost. As I said I'm not affiliated but I am a fan. I especially am a fan because I have a huge respect for open source organizations that run their business like they do.
You're right, I can't comment anything bad on the business model, great respect for being open source and I thank them for they work, just not a fit for someone who was looking for a better Wordpress alternative. Maybe it's just too young. WP is 15 yo already :)) !
Wish you both the very best!
> Why wouldn't you try to bring the best possible experience to your reader?
A blog is (usually) a collection of documents. For this use-case, using standard hypertext (standard HTML documents delivered over standard HTTP to every standards-compliant browser) does bring the best possible experience to your readers.
Delivering a single HTML document stuffed with some hand-crafted Javascript code trying to re-invent hypertext will not bring a better experience to your readers (especially not any readers who disable JavaScript), unless your blog is something more specific/unusual than a collection of documents and actually fits something other than hypertext better.
I'll flip it back on you. Why does a single page app make the best possible experience? I and many others don't browse with JavaScript, how does a broken site help us?
Static sites are fast and don't require untrusted code running in my browser.
chomp: For starters we could make you and many others (0.1%-1%?) just accept it and enable javascript so we help stop the global warming, don't you care about the earth? :))
And its quite possible to make a SPA that renders on the server and serves you an html but then maybe we can show just half the information so we don't send too much info to your browser.
That's a bad habit you have there, I bet you thinking extends to more than just people who smoke, I would distance myself from people with this line of thinking when looking for a business partner.
I believe other factors are at play, neither the anti-smoking campaigns or the affordability of the cigarettes is representing the data. A mixture of contraband, alternatives and other factors are at play, unfortunately Greece is going to battle cigs for a long time unless drastic measures are taken.
