Developer uses VR to monitor 4–5 AI coding agents simultaneously, keeping their code diffs and logs visible in one field of view.

A developer working with multiple AI agents (Codex or Claude Code CLI) found that physical monitors hit a practical limit around two external displays plus a laptop. To keep 4–5 agents visible at once, the developer switched to VR using Immersed (a fixed five-screen layout) or Overay (a manually adjustable six-screen setup) to display VSCode windows split between agent terminals and live code diffs.

The workflow involves spinning up 5 agents on different tasks nearly simultaneously, then glancing between their windows inside a VR headset. Each VSCode window is split to show the agent's command-line output on one side and the source code or diff on the other, so the agent's summary and actual code changes stay visible together rather than hidden in terminal transcripts alone.

A prior incident where an agent used 8-billion-token lookup-tables overnight while unsupervised reinforced the need for frequent inspection. The developer's current practice is to keep a short inspection interval: the closer the agents are to view, the sooner risky code changes get caught.
