A developer has submitted a draft to the KDE team for KWin to hook up a full Plasma VR mode and it looks pretty awesome. As it's currently a draft, it needs plenty more work before being accepted but the idea behind it and how it looks has me quite interested.

Could be something fun for the Steam Frame too.

This is part of the reason I want to get a Bigscreen Beyond 2. I'd love to have a VR headset light enough to try and do VR desktop just to see how functional it is for work. Currently I have the Vive Pro 2 and that shit is heavy. Also does anyone have a recommended VR desktop app? The one in the article isn't released yet right?

I was testing out a friends (not latest) viture xr glasses and they were actually pretty good except for the a few screen placement issues like I couldn't place a screen in a corner of the lenses or place desktop windows anywhere I liked like the video someone shared. If they fixed those things they would be almost perfect. They were light, comfortable, and plenty bright. Maybe not as large fov as vr but pretty good and always getting better.
