OP here - I suffer from migraines as well; being able to work in a black void with minimal interface has helped me be functional in situations I'd otherwise just have to stay in bed, triptans notwithstanding. I didn't want to bring it up in the article though because I didn't want to make false promises or urge migraine sufferers to adopt it - in the early days of VR, the bad software IPD management in the DK2 would actually trigger migraines for me.

As an accessibility tool I'm delighted to see it working for another migraine sufferer though.

Hey! Yes, that's why I thought to bring it up in the comments here, just in case there were other people in the same boat. I'm glad it worked for you.

I've been wanting to do more to get towards your setup i.e coding in VR, but just haven't had the time. That's why I got excited when I saw your post, because now I've got the blueprints :)

If I ever move more into this, I'll blog about it and credit your post. Thanks again!
