Here is My New Virtual Office - YouTube

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
