did you forget that Linux exists?

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It should definitely be on the basis of linux, but not really what I mean. I mean a UI OS shell optimized for VR and things like eye tracking and controllers and how to switch from controller to keyboard. This is like an unsolved problem afaik. Like IOS and android designed a new shell for a non-desktop platform. I read a bit about Apple Vision Pro how they designed their UI widgets with eye tracking in mind.

At the minimum I want to be able to play a VR game like Elite Dangerous and pull up a video chat panel or browser window / notepad to look up stuff without exiting the game.

reminds me of that one episode of community

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Which one? It's been a while and I haven't seen the last season I think.

[–] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

oooh sry cant remember the specific season/episode, but it revolved around the dean and superintendent getting hooked on a experimental vr operating system iirc

I guess this one: Community S6E02 Lawnmower Maintenance And Postnatal Care. I probably mean the exact opposite lol.
