Remote work requires eye contact, which doesn’t exist yet. It will happen rapidly once we have VR with eye tracking.

The other thing missing from remote work tools is collocated workspaces (can’t fit that on your monitor). Existing VR tech solves that problem though.

Instead of working on Google Docs in your office, you’ll work IN Google Docs in VR, and your coworkers will be there nearby, and you’ll be able to talk face to face without leaving your workspace.

Certainly not all remote work requires eye contact, including the vast majority of white collar jobs--especially technical jobs. This argument is silly and never comes with anything but anecdotal evidence and arbitrary standards. In reality, managers want people in the room with them because it's easier on them.

Well, how do you explain "it's easier" then? I gave my explanation of why I think it's easier. Do you have another theory?
