I tried to work all day in a VR headset and it was horrible

Alex Hern wanted to get closer to his work by spending a day in a VR world. Future of employment, or a digital headache?

Virtual reality is here. You can pilot a starfighter, make sculptures out of virtual clay and experience award-winning journalism " but can you use it to get some work done?

I persuaded my editor to let me give it a go, doing a day's work living in a virtual world created by the Oculus Rift.
