Bed computer - watch TV/movie in lying position

We tested bed computer and were pretty impressed with results. Movies won't be too long and watching TV for hours remains comfortable with possiblity for full concentration.

Best practices :
  • movies/TV
  • adult movie
  • telepresence (web cam conference- tested was watching, listening, talking excellent)
  • videolectures+documentaries (it may be hard to make notes in bed position)
  • reading ebooks, comics, magazines (its hard to make notes)
  • viewing webcam over Skype and Voip..


    sample bed computer scheme

    Experience:
    • comfortable, very cool
    • ergonomics are perfect (ability to watch 2 hour movie (normal bed used) without pains and without any body moves:)
    • virtual reallity alike

    Control:
    • Mouse is pretty usable, it's not so fast but you'll get most clicks pretty comfortable
    • It's hard to browse web on this bed computer as keyboard is hard to mount. 
    • Writing with virtual keyboard (slower but will do the job for basic functions)





    shelf above the bed used to hold laptop


    We used out laptop monitor for bed screen and next to "bed computer" was external monitor connected to same laptop, that is used as workstation!
    switching between laptop monitor and external monitor is excellent on linux (request in comments for xrandr script!),



    Special Features:
    • beside secondary monitor, usb spekers were used as secondary sound card!
    • some games work well: "Gwap image game" can be played as it requre "not too fast clicks and especialy moves but can requre some thinking"
