I tried, but the resolution of my original vive is not sufficient. Also not seeing your keyboard, mouse and hands (even knowing touch-typing) is quite a hindrance. Overall I don't think VR is going to be there anytime soon. AR has a better chance, but they need to seriously increase the quality / size of the displays.

Virtual reality with virtual cues about your real environment could be a solution to the keyboard problem.

Another solution to the keyboard problem would be to get rid of the keyboard altogether to be replaced by a non intrusive brain computer interface.

yeah that's not for tomorrow either. Even if they managed to get a brain interface to get as accurate as Alexa's voice recognition (and that is a monstrously GIANT if), that is never going precise enough to work with. Same as people in the 90s thinking soon we'd all use voice recognition to type documents.
