alt Hacker NewsI'm afraid to ask for this but I wish I could use something like this for work. Why are we all commuting? I'd like to put on a company issued VR headset and be transported to an office. Just literally recreate the office experience.

kind of feeling like this too much skeuomorphism for my taste, why recreate the office experience when I can already do the work without the commute over slack and teams?

There’s at least 8 of such work space apps on Meta Quest, they have whiteboards, you can do stuff together all while in a room in the middle of Alps or in space.

Except with the extra weight of a headset, eye strain, and the uncanny feeling of moving without moving.
Why recreate the office?
I get that some people have a psychological mindset to "be in a place so as to do work" but offices are a compromise on so many things, most notably space.
Now you have tech to create entire wondrously imaginative virtual worlds and you want to recreate a bland little open plan box to cram avatars into?
