Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has experience using smart glasses that provide multiple virtual monitors while coding for 8 or more hours.
I've seen demos and read articles about using such glasses for watching movies while on the plane, but I haven't found concrete information about real-life work scenarios like in the office, programming, etc., for extended periods.
The idea of having three 120" virtual monitors that disappear the moment you turn off your computer/laptop, and that won't harm your eyesight, sounds fantastic!
If anyone has tried this or has recommendations, I would love to hear about your experiences.
Thank you!

Are you saying that they can have multiple different views from the physical monitor?

I think at those prices I'll stick to my laptop screen.

My eyes already need (somewhat high) powered spectacles. Is this to be worn on top of that?

I saw in some videos on YouTube that they can be worn on top of glasses.

I bet that is going to be just as comfortable as it sounds.

When I read articles about VR glasses, my current conclusion is that they are not suitable for long periods of work. But yes, it would be interesting to try it out.

Like coding in a movie theatre. I like a more "intimate" experience. And what would the cat do?

Interesting. Between my migraine headaches and only having one eye, I won't be seeing the benefits of this technology any time soon.

I suspect if you think there is a guarantee there you are mistaken.

This sounds interesting. I would like to hear much more about this.

Interesting idea there.
Googling all I find in regards to development is people writing software that someone else will run on their smart glasses.
Excluding of course marketing claims which I would not look at.

I signed up for www.sightful.com many months ago. Haven't received any information for the last 2 months and past articles/videos disappear from their site. I'm concerned they are just developing enough in hope of being bought out by someone.
There are articles out there about moving toward working in A/VR. (I currently use 5 monitors and have been waiting for the next headset that will better support using A/VR for work. Augmented or passthrough keyboard view, etc.)
Here are some links. Hopefully they come through okay...

Just like our brains, our eyes try to use the least amount of energy as possible. We must force them to focus on different distances to avoid atrophy.

I did some research on this about 6 months ago. I had an opportunity to do some long term traveling but I can take that much time off and I couldn't take my full 4 monitor set up or work effectively from a tiny laptop. I also work with confidential information and can't have people looking over my shoulder. VR goggles would have been fantastic!
I can't quote any specific articles or videos, but my overall impression was that the tech just isn't ready yet. I really couldn't chance it. I'm not sure about the new Apple goggles, but who has $3,500 for an experiment?

I have been experiencing "application X not responding " Linux Ubuntu since unknown "version upgrade ".
Posted inquiry about it on several forums and so far no response.
My guess is it has to do with Ubuntu "multitasking"... but guessing does not solve the issue..
Reason for this post
my hobby program - tracking radio response (pings) from meteor - runs "system call"
which takes roughly 12 seconds to complete - on the good day.
When Ubuntu decides to " application (my program ) not responding"
it takes about 5 to 7 seconds to post the message and then my system call
completion is unpredictable...most of the time Ubuntu does not recover..
HENCE
I am asking this forum to recommend alternative to Ubuntu
which is "user friendly " to QT.
I did ask Mrs Google and read few "reviews" , they are void of comments as far as
programming application , likes QT , so that is why I am posting this here.
I do not care if Linux flavor X is "Windows like" or faster then a speeding bullet...
I need to get rid of "application not responding ". Period.
Thanks for reading and have a happy festivus...

What hardware platform is your app running on?
Are you sure it's Ubuntu and not the hardware you're running on?
Does it have enough memory?, etc..

I do not know how to describe "hardware platform".
I have been running Ubuntu WITHOUT this problem for over 10 years.
As I said it started recently, after about three or four version upgrade.
It affect ANY application , not just my C++ code.
I have 8GB RAM and NEVER seen it over 50% usage.
I appreciate your comments, however, I have had it and if it is a system hardware
issue it will show up in another OS. Then it will be end of guessing.
