Working in Virtual Reality

Trying something new, interested if anyone has done similar.

I work with six 27" monitors for my desktop PC and am much slower if using just a couple of monitors. As mentioned before, I have a "travel" kit which is four 21" monitors, stand, and dock for my laptop, but that all weighs over 50 lb so not really suitable if I am flying somewhere. Last time I went to Europe I brought laptop, two 17" portable monitors, and a home-made stand, which didn't work well, monitors were too few and too small.

I'll be working from Europe for a month in September, so I need a better solution. I decided to try working in virtual reality. Bought an Oculus Quest 2 and loaded the Immersed app, which supposedly allows you to create five "virtual monitors".

Can't say how well it works - I basically just got everything sort of figured out and set up when the Oculus battery gave out. Obviously a long power cable or battery pack will be needed.

Anyone work - as opposed to play - in VR? How do you do it?
