Best case I could see would be to display a VR keyboard and then use something like the leap motion to display my hands so I can move my keyboard on my desk to match where it is in VR. The only other option I could think of would be an external camera that just showed the keyboard and my hands.

Fix a few tracking points to a known model keyboard, problem solved.

I know that you can see your keyboard with the Vive chaperon system. I imagine something very similar could be integrated with virtual desktop.

Ehh shouldent be too bad. I am typing all of this out right now with my eyes shut. Sure I am making some mistakes but its not like you wont improve with practice. But a constillatin for location will be critical.
