I came up with a way to work standing up, reclining/sitting up and lying down - all without a desk/table and without a sofa/chair. This obviously requires the AlphaGrip and a few more things:
Please see the drawing attached on how you would use these. I am going to shortly summarize every position again: - To work standing up: Stand behind the bed. - To work reclining/sitting down: Lie on bed with bed recliner inflated. - To work lying down: Lie on bed wearing 90° specs.
Does it get any better than this? Questions and comments are welcome!
Best regards,
Hermann

You could of course just use some pillows. You can also use a TV instead of a projector, but I wanted it to be "Ultimate" and I am a lazy person so I would get that inflatable bed thing ;-).

"You could also use one of those monitors that is like a pair of glasses
instead of the HD projector and 90° specs."
Wearing a head-mounted display (HMD) was my initial idea. Have you
personally tried this? I have not personally, but I researched the available
HMDs and found that their resolution was either too low to be used as a
monitor replacement or that they were prohibitively expensive. This will
hopefully change in the future which would be a dream come true. Here is a
good comparison chart for those interested:

Btw, where did you get your 90° specs from? The only manufacturer I know is
the one I linked to.
No, I have never tried an HMD, I have never even seen one in person.
Also I'm not even using my AlphaGrip: I just haven't taken the time,
plus it was difficult setting up for coding.
I got my 90° specs about 8 years ago. I don't remember where I got
them, I just searched the internet.
I think I entered "TV viewing spectacles" or "TV viewing glasses" in
my search engine.
They look exactly like yours: Color, prisms, etc.

As an alternate possibility, don't permanently mount the projector on
the ceiling -- that way you could either physically tilt it or simply
mirror the projector's image to show on the ceiling for when you want
to work while lying down.
