I’m quite curious myself. Although, working at a place where we have 3D video walls with head tracking for quite some time you still can call me a sceptic. We only use them for presentations, the reason imo is that mechanical CAD modeling is really not just about creating 3D representations. An engineer works on math, tables (excel is big in engineering), enterprise resource management systems (you look up available material, prices, etc.), PIM software and of course the browser. You switch between them a lot. As far I can tell, the resolution of both Oculus and HTC Vive isn’t suited for editing larger texts or tables efficiently. Time (or better the VR industry) will solve this issue, but even then I’d argue many engineers prefer hand drawn sketches to support their thinking or for communicating ideas with their colleagues. While I’m sceptic concerning the use of VR for every day engineering, I believe it will be fantastic to let non-engineers explore designs. Like a production worker analyzing a design for assembly friendliness, where he can take apart the design without learning the right mouse-keyboard interactions or get used to a 3d motion controllers. Which, from my experience, is a huge barrier to them.
