this is my personal virtual office right now we are in a library I can't speak
loud this is so relaxing you can sit here all day
I like big screen but isn't this a little bit overkill now I can see my
keyboard this is so great
hi I'm TK from red stapler with the current pandemic situation I have to
stay at home and work from home for several weeks now and can't go anywhere
except for grocery like Sam Jackson said
but even for intervert person like me it's a little bit depressing so I try to
find a way to change my work environment and then I thought about ready player
one movie what if we can use virtual reality to create virtual working space
at home I did some research and found this application virtual desktop which
let you use the desktop in VR mode and change the scenery at will so after
preparing my VR headset and sitting at my desk here's my experience
wow this is better than I thought it's like I'm really floating in space
and almost forget I'm sitting in my room I can use the grip button on the
controller to move the screen like this it's basically the same desktop screen
except it's in VR I can open web browsers and other applications as usual
and here's the control panel for the virtual desktop application you can set
the screen size distance and curveness of the screen and also other options
like locking screen to your head movement and perhaps the most important
option which is to change the environment the application comes with a
handful of built-in environments but you can download more from the Steam
Community workshop mostly for free alright I'm going to try changing the
environment to something else this is so real so real that I feel like I have to
start talking quietly if I'm not wrong I believe this is France national library
but no one's here so it's a little bit lonely well let's try something else
ah the sunrise in the morning very beautiful I don't get to see it as very
often since I usually get up so late the graphic might not look so great in this
captured video but believe me it's so much more realistic when you use VR
headset to view it now the next one is the scene that I like the most I always
dream of having personal office in high-rise building so I guess this is
what it feels like I really enjoy the view
the monitor is so huge I feel like having around 32 to 34 inch curved
monitor seems like I don't have to buy them anymore they even have the coffee
on the table for me let's see if I can pick it up er...nope well at least I can't
spill it on the keyboard now after I finish admiring my new work environment
it's time to start working and right then I start to notice the first problem
I couldn't see my keyboard it should be fine if you can do touch typing but if
you can't that's going to be really frustrating and here's my workaround
htc vive has built in front camera so I enable it in steamVR and now I can look
at my keyboard while typing the camera resolution is horrible but it's better
than nothing alternatively you can enable the touch keyboard and use web
controller to type it but of course not practical for lots of typing work
especially for coding another problem I found is the text is too small and I
have to lean my head closer to the screen in order to read it you might not
see it in this video but you will notice I've been wearing VR headset the
workaround is to scale up your text size in window display option I change mine
to 125 percent and it's a whole lot better
anyway beside these two problems everything else worked perfectly
I can code perform web development tasks and even do video editing as usual and
after a couple hours of working it's time for movie I'm going to change the
environment to a theater
now this is awesome I only need a popcorn and soda and this would be
perfect it turns out virtual desktop is even better at watching movies it does
feel like watching in a real theater especially if you have good earphone in
fact next time I want to watch a movie I think I'm going to watch it in VR
so to wrap up this video I really enjoy the virtual desktop experience though it
has some areas that still need some improvement it does have potential to be
more developed and adopted for example a keyboard and a gloves that can be tracked
and display inside me your headset and options to set up and define the table
size to match the one in a real world anyway if you already have a VR headset
and looking for a new working space I recommend you to try it and that's all for
this video hope you guys enjoy if you want to see more web development tips
