What kind of VR games are you playing? I haven't seen a single physically demanding VR game (unless you count standing "physical"). Unless everyone is going to have a dedicated room for their games or we come up with some kind of rental halls there won't be any physical activity in VR games just because there is no room to move around.

Sure ducking and crawling is somewhat more physical that just sitting and playing games, but not by much.

Holopoint, Sword Master VR, Audioshield are some of the more physically intensive titles. Something like Onward is not intense exercise but will get you kneeling etc. instead of just standing. Even standing and doing things with your hands is better than sitting and playing a non-VR game.

Climbey is absolutely exhausting. Finally some hope I'll get some upper body exercise!

Archery games are physically demanding. I've lost on the QuiVR demo simply because I ran out of strength pull the bow string any more.

Any game with ducking or evading will begin to burn the calories - SPT and Zombie Training both have had me break a sweat.

Most room scale games involve a fair amount of crouching and moving. Even in my 2m x 1.9m space I'll notice the exertion after a while.
