Virtual Desktop for Oculus Rift enabled me to spend an entire day in VR without enraging my boss

Most virtual reality experiences are over after about 20 minutes, so of course I just spent six hours doing my job inside of a simulated computer environment.

Virtual Desktop is an upcoming PC program that will enable anyone with an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift headset to emulate their desktop inside of a VR world. Developer Guy Godin is preparing to launch the app alongside the Rift on March 28 on Valve’s software-distribution portal Steam. While industry observers, like tech advisor Digi-Capital, are predicting that VR will generate $30 billion by 2020, only a portion of that will come from games. It’s clever apps for enterprise, creators, and artists that’ll make up the difference.
