VR as a Desktop Computing Replacement

No more monitors

Concept

Software for AR/VR headsets that truly replace/enhance the desktop computing experience and allow us to remove monitors forever.

Longer Description

VR/AR/Immersive Computing hardware development has a long way to go until we can use the headsets to read text and interact for hours on end (as we do with our monitors). That said, when that moment comes we believe there will be an application that could be a first mover built on top of the prevailing OS to bridge all of the gaps of desktop computing to VR computing.

This may look like a new browser, a new email/note/video call interface, or something else.

Other Thoughts

  • This is a long-term thesis, however we believe hardware quality could change materially in the next 24 months.
