But doesn't it make you look away from the monitor? Unless you have this 45 inch curved monitor really close to your face?

It makes you turn your head away from the monitor – your eyes are still pointed at it. You generally configure it to apply some gain on your head rotation as well, so a 15 degree head swivel turns into a 60 degree camera movement or whatever.

Maybe think of it less like a pretend-VR solution and more like a camera controller wired to your neck muscles.

It sounds weird, it feels weird at first, but it gets quite natural after a brief adjustment period. It's also very cheap to try if you're curious.

It requires robotics monitor arm
Are you serious? That's not the cheapest setup then. Would be better to buy a VR goggles in such case
They are not serious
