The above comment doesn't deserve to be downvoted, it's a legitimate question. I myself was excited at the idea of VR to replace monitors, until I realized that making use of all that theoretical space would require me to crane and twist my neck at extreme angles for extended amounts of time. Upon reflection, it seems strictly worse than just making use of your OS's built-in support for virtual workspaces, where switching between them takes only a simple keypress rather than contorting my body.

The eye tracking sounds like a killer feature (I can imagine how it could enable reading with touchless, perfect, infinite scrolling). Sadly, from my brief read of the docs, it seems like Apple doesn’t allow apps to access what people are looking at (“to preserve privacy”) though.
