Having actually spent a lot of time doing work in VR on a Quest 2 with Immersed, I disagree about the eye projection and AR being gimmicks.

The thing that ruins VR for me is the complete isolation from my surroundings. I want to be able to bring my virtual work into the real world, and I want people to be comfortable speaking to me while I have the headset on.

The benefit of not using AR, but instead using VR, in a workplace is that you can spend less on office space. You can take any room and stuff it with small phone-booths where each worker is in a VR world. You don't have to spend money on a canteen, just feed the worker with a tube in the booth while they are in a virtual restaurant. You can probably get four times as many workers in the same space as the open offices we have today. If the inside of the booths are waterproof they can be simply hosed down with a sprinkler, saving on cleaning expenses as well.

Workers can use VR at home, company spends zero on office space. Worker doesn't have to spend on a car, gas and saves 2 hours commute time. Toxins are not spewed on the way to work. Win-win all around.
