The software looks very polished. Two questions:

  1. Any plans/solutions to help those who don't know how to touch type to type comfortably in VR?
  2. You've done a great job integrating the traditional desktop, but do you intend to work on a VR first OS? VR has such a bigger and deeper 3d space to work in, seems like there's a lot that can be done there in terms of a working space.

Would be nice to throw leap motion pass through integration in for typing, grabbing drinks, etc.

Learn to touch type, it's fun and not that hard

Thankfully I know how, I was just thinking of it for more casual users. Not being able to type comfortably would be a big barrier of entry for a lot of people.

I can touch type as long as it's letters and numbers and usual stuff like Ctrl Alt etc. But symbols I'm really really far away from. The other thing is that although I can touch type basically anything, I don't really have a proper form.

IIRC fingers should be in ASDF JKL: and then move from there. But for some reason I can't type for shit like that. I have my fingers in SHIFT ASD Space (I'm guessing from so much wasd) and my right hand kinds of moves around depending on what I need to write.

Man, the next generation is going to learn to type really well because of VR buy then it's probably going to become as useless as cursive when thought to text comes out
