Well obviously nobody's going to be doing that.

just you wait... if pitched properly, with higher resolution (so gen2 at least) and office apps developed with VR in mind it can bring added effectiveness (although probably impossible to wear 8 hours daily).

  Yeah facilities managers will love it. They won't even have to buy cubicles anymore, because with VR we won't notice we're packed cheek-by-jowl at long tables.

  I'll wait (we all will - there's no alternative) but I'm confident that the future isn't every/most employees sitting at their desk wearing stupid glasses/headgear and getting headaches and eyestrain and feeling sick when they can just look a their monitors like a normal person.

    As a programmer, the idea of a VR headset with infinite space for my windows is very appealing. Mix this with gesture based input devices and a pinch of voice control and you have something awesome.

      Sounds really inefficient (and that's ignoring the eye strain, headaches, sweaty headbands and nausea). I'll use vim and you can wave your arms around like Cumberbatch-era Sherlock with your mumble-powered magic hat and we'll see who's the fastest!

      Ever heard of workspaces?

      There is already infinite space for windows. By moving them into physical world, you're actually imposing a limit on the available space.

        I meant more like an infinite sized monitor. But I understand your point. That said, there's something appealing to me about the idea of just moving my head to see the info I want vs. switching windows. I already do this with 2 27" monitors and having even more 'space' to put visible items and just look around sounds great. But I like new and shiny things.

    hmm, i'm a programmer, and i think even with current-gen vive this could potentially be really cool. wouldn't be surprised at all if this is the future.
