No not at all. I tried Minecraft in VR once, thinking that it would be a game changer. It was, just not in the way that I had hoped.
Imagine having the absolute precision of a mouse and keyboard that you've been using your entire life just taken away from you, and then having to rely on tapping on things in a virtual space that aren't even physically there. Then add in so much nausea that you're constantly on the verge of projectile vomiting. In fact, there was a high-speed motorcyle VR racing game that I played for exactly 18 minutes before I ripped off my headset, ran to the bathroom and instantly puked because of the nausea.
That is VR.
It's the same thing as sea-sickness basically. When your eyes are seeing something that does not line up with what your body is physically experiencing, you're gonna have a bad time.
I'm more imagining replacing my monitors with a VR headset and coding with a real physical keyboard and mouse. Infinite monitor space, less desk space potentially intuitive UI to move around dev tools. That's the use case I see for corporate America and if they start replacing my $500 monitors, my desk space and my 2k laptop with a $3500 headset, I can see that happening. Also I have a cheap M1 laptop.
that sounds like it would probably go poorly.
