Keywords: digital transformation, operating system, virtual reality, virtual desktop

Abstract:
With the rapid development of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in recent years, VR displays have become more popular, democratic, and attractive for users. Therefore, academic researchers are exploring the way to employ advanced VR technologies to achieve a smooth digital transfer from traditional user interfaces towards VR interfaces. In this paper, we present Make OS Home: a digital transformation implementation prototype from a traditional 2D-screen-based operating system towards a home-like immersive 3D operating system in virtual reality. We will present implementation details about the interactions between users, VR controllers, and the operating system to achieve such digital transformation on operating systems.
