Description

Hi,
I just discovered Simula, and find the idea very interesting. I see it as a way to reduce my environmental footprint : instead of having 2-3 big screens requiring lots of ressources and energy, I could use a smaller PC (like 13") and my smartphone as a 3D screen, using the Cardboard imagined by Google.

Pros :

  • reduces the need of multiscreen setups for professionnals
  • instead of buying a new "screen" (the VR headset), make good use of a screen every professionnal usually has (the smartphone screen), and add little impact from the carboard (vs plastic and electronics of a regular VR headset)
  • very affordable ! good for mass adoption
  • transportable setup (lightweight PC + smartphone + foldable cardboard) instead of big VR headset.

Cons :

  • i'm not sure, but is a loss of quality expected ?

What do you think, is it difficult to do from a technical perspective ?
