VR-OS — A new operating system beyond the limits of your monitor
An early prototype of an operating system that replaces monitors with a head-mounted display for a revolutionary desktop computing experience. Use mouse and keyboard to get work done, in an immersive environment that allows workflows like never before.

That looks kind of cool but it would just be like having a giant curved monitor. It doesn't change, or improve (and shouldn't that be the objective?), the way we work now.
VR has great potential but nobody has used it to create a unique experience or solution yet. It's just used to replicate real-world things in a virtual world.

Nice concept, I saw your post on Hacker News previously. Although I think PH is not really the right place for this, since it's not a usable product yet. But if you're going to keep this up, I'd suggest you have a way of collecting emails on your website, to start building an audience.
@yunus_abd good point. I I have no current plans to develop this further, bootstrapped, on my own though, so this is as far as this "product" is going to go for now.
@matthaeus_krenn I see, hopefully someone picks this up and pays you to develop it further. Or you could try YC, their applications are currently open.
That's what I always wanted. VR workspace environment for 2d screens, multiscreen and mouse/keyboard support.
I'm going to be VERY candid on this review. First, How would you play with a mouse over stereo input? point at something and then close one eye and then the other eye, EXACTLY. They way information is displayed is plain boring and does not leverage VR for what it can be. No new interactions and very confining to current computing methods. This may wow a lot of people but I think it does not offer an inspiring vision for the a VR operating system can be. Coming from someone that worked at apple for so many years in their "future technologies" team, one can't help to wonder if Apple is as "ahead" as we all suspect they are.
I like the idea of this, but id there a dark mode option? I want to go easy on my eyes.
