It's more useful in scenarios that require heavier work or more immersion (IE having multiple screens open, videogames, fielding help desk calls while researching fixes, flight simulations, ETC.)</p>sirhc desantis commented on '3 Challenges to Philip Rosedale's "VR Could End Smartphones" Argument'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef022ad3d1868f200b2019-01-18T08:33:39Z2019-01-18T08:33:39Zsirhc desantis1) Asked my partner - they said if I tried that I would be sleeping outside. 2) Share a bathroom...<p>1) Asked my partner - they said if I tried that I would be sleeping outside.<br />
