I don’t often wish I had an Apple Vision Pro, but when I do it’s because of completely off-the-wall things like this.
UHF X11 is exactly the sort of gloriously impractical idea I cannot help but like: old-school X11 clients turning into spatial windows, floating around your face as if the future had decided to take a detour through the late 1980s.
My Quest 2 would never be able to do this with the same flair, which is part of why this feels so charming. It’s not merely about remote windows or novelty factor–it’s about delivering a tiny slice of the sci-fi workstation experience UNIX nerds were implicitly promised decades ago.
