Everyone in VR thinks they are creating things for the first time. From 2000 to 2009 I founded and ran the second largest VR company in the world. The number of firsts that my team had was amazing.

What really amazes me is now that VR is growing. Zero people have talked to me about what my team learned. Its like the past never existed...

Well... what did your team learn?
I will boil down 10 years experience into a few words, "its hard, and expensive". Leveraging the real world paradigm works great in some situations and not at all in others. There are some things that 2D will always be better for, like search and shopping.
