> It is a fundamentally different experience than reading a screen It's an interesting thing to say because, one of the pending killer apps for VR is liberating us from our clunky rectangular meatworld screens that can't travel with us. It's still too low resolution now in affordable hardware, but it's at a tipping point and it is going to be quite exciting to see it cross that. I wouldn't rule out that in 5 years from now, a sizeable percentage of the professional computing workforce is using VR just for this reason alone.

Then we can cram people into even smaller cubicles.

  Bold of you to assume you'll get the minimal privacy of a cubicle's partitions. The VR office is probably going to be open concept, like a bunch or chairs in a room.

    Comfy chairs at least?

My monitors are awesome though and I don't have to wear a ridiculous headset. I am never wearing a VR headset all day to save space. The day this rolls out I am asking for an exception for real monitors. I honestly don't think this is ever going to happen though. Everyone is just caught up in this hype cycle.
