I’m interested. I would love to be able to throw on a headset and sit on the couch and watch a movie with my sister, where I felt like she was watching in the room with me.
I also would like to have a meeting with my other WFH colleagues where I could tell whether people were making eye contact with me, because the conversation would flow smoother.
There's a thing called Big Screen VR. I'm wondering if your comment is saying that it's not viable for you (don't have the time, equipment, not a good enough experience), or that you've not heard of it. I'm not trying to be snarky "I think you'll find" just wondering if you've considered and rejected Big Scree.
Just like how over-ear headphones make my hair sweaty and itchy after a few hours, I can't imagine (personally) enjoying the feel of a clunky VR headset adding extra pounds onto my face.
Yeah, VR tends to have a hard-cutoff on the human body after ~2 hours. Most people will become physically exhausted before they reach that point, but if you do manage to make it a couple hours in, you'll almost certainly feel a little woozy.
Honestly though, the feeling of the headset on the face is the least-salient part of that discomfort (to me). It really is like a heavier pair of over-ear headphones in terms of physical profile.

My WFH space is my private space, and I'd rather not invite my colleagues into it. Voice + screen sharing is more than enough, so no thanks. And if my employer required it I'd let myself out.
