> Zero chance everyone starts wearing VR headsets for office work
I'd say unlikely not zero, the assumption that everyone is going to strap on an occulus for work is close to zero but if VR finally takes off the 4th or 5th generation systems will be smaller, lighter, cheaper and better that is just the way things seem to go.
I'm old enough to remember when lugging a mobile around was seen as something that made you a bit of a twat because they where huge, clunky, only worked intermittent, expensive and had terrible range.
Now I have a £200 quid phone from 3 years ago (Nexus 4) that is none of those things.
I actually think the first thing we'll see in workplaces is the first none-sucky AR systems, there are a hell of a lot of use cases when you combine them with things like facial recognition.
Receptionists, doctors, pretty much any role that deals with the public.
If they could display decent high quality text and graphics they'd be excellent educational and maintenance tools, back when I worked as an electrician I would have loved to have been able to pull building wiring plans while working on things.
