Here is one example: eye tracking could completely eliminate the need for alt tab or switching desktops. Put your keyboard's focus in a window by looking at it, and have it automatically recenter into your natural field of view. Still doable in 27" but not nearly as useful. Just guestimating, I would need 11 or 12 27" screens to fully utilize the area I can see without moving my head. With gentle neck motion included I think that number triples or quadruples.

Let's assume; VR is much better than alt-tab and clicking at the taskbar. It will reduce the time taken by 95%. Assume 5 seconds average for non-VR method, which is a conservative estimate, this gives us 0.15 seconds for VR. If you switch windows every 60 seconds, this gives us an improvement of ~8%. Table: 300s -> 1.5% 120s -> 4% 60s -> 8% 30s -> 16% 15s -> 32% I have no idea what my average window switch time is. I should measure it sometime. I doubt it is under 30 seconds where the VR actually makes a meaningful improvement. If you take an average of 2 seconds for non-VR and a skilled user with keyboard shortcuts and virtual desktops, VR advantage becomes insignificant. Table: 300s -> 0.6% 120s -> 1.5% 60s -> 3% 30s -> 6% 15s -> 12% If you compare a specialized window managing software versus the VR equivalent then I don't see any benefit towards the latter. The latency is the same. The only difference is the abstract windows management versus spacial of VR. I think programmers can handle the non-VR solution just fine. I really hope it becomes better though; the resolution is currently just too small.
