> Complete control over my visual environment is like using noise-canceling headphones for my eyes. Could not agree more. I tried out a much simpler setup on my friend's Oculus Go (predecessor to the Quest 2, since abandoned by Facebook), and was amazed at how well I was able to focus. For my setup, I used the a web browser on the headset itself to connect to ttyd [0] running on my computer for doing programming homework when I was in college, and it worked really well. I wrote about my experience, and drew similar conclusions. [1] When I looked into immersive coding environments at that time, I didn't find much. I guess I didn't look hard enough...

In What it's like to spend 40-50 hours in VR every week
I spent a weekend recently comparing GoTTY to similar solutions and GoTTY/ttyd (the C port) are the best projects. Ultimately, I chose ttyd (https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd), because the main GoTTY project was abandoned 4 years ago. ttyd works very well for my use case, which is sharing a server to test some experimental security software. So far I've gotten thousands of more attempts by running a webserver than sharing SSH credentials. If you'd like to try the server, it's here: http://challenge.whitebeamsec.com/. The font/style are all configurable. The only downside is mobile browsers have difficulty typing.
