The Screenless Office

When I read the headline screenless office, I thought about getting rid of monitors and desk chairs and replace them with high-resolution virtual reality headsets. I really want to be in the future when I don't need to sit all day at a desk staring at a screen.

Now imagine doing this for years: every morning you walk into a windowless, empty room. Put VR on, work our 9-5. Get VR off, back in the windowless, empty room.

It would completely destroy me within days.

That's be pretty cool. Or a step further with augmented reality; No need to print anything when you can just instantiate a persistent virtual "printout" and file them in virtual zero-g above your head, or anywhere in your own "slice" of the physical office

What would be inside the VR headsets if not more screens?
