ChikkaChiChion Is Design Dead? (2004)

I think this is the failure of the project leaders to incorporate usability into the discussion from the outset. It takes a strong will to sit there and say "We can build you what you want, but without at least one pass on usability and optimization, it's going to be fat, slow, and the end users are going to hate it."

ChikkaChiChion Spacetop, a radical laptop with no screen

I was tooling around with VR development when I tried developing directly from within the headset. Shockingly, the Quest 2 was streets ahead of the Index when it came to usability. It wasn't bad; it just wasn't something I would want to replace my current setup.

I'm sure once the headsets hit a certain resolution, this will become much more common.
