I keep wondering if chording keyboards could be the answer for VR text input. It would require learning a new input system, but I'm curious if one could eventually become proficient enough to reach average qwerty speeds. I can't remember the name but I remember seeing a google-produced chip that tracked small finger movements, and I imagine something like this clip from Children of Men could work: https://youtu.be/sJO0n6kvPRU?t=2m4s

I spent a few hours the other day searching for existing chording keyboards and they were all really clunky.
