As someone who still uses pen and paper for sketching out ideas and books for reference, I do not understand the appeal of VR for productivity. Going from 2 to 3 monitors was only a slight productivity improvement for me - one monitor is now dedicated to Slack. Being able to have a huge viewable space to work in seems like it's not going to be that much better. Meanwhile there is fatigue from the headset, having to charge (or tether) a thing you're always wearing, and a disconnect from the physical world which makes some things less convenient (e.g. writing things down). Finally, there's an issue of who owns and controls the space you work in. With WFH, it's nice to be in a space that I fully control and can customize to my needs. If history is any guide, a VR space will become heavily monetized, if not by Meta then by someone else. And the possibilities for surveillance - either by your employer or the "owner" of the space - are now limitless. I'm not naïve enough to think that history won't repeat itself.
