People keep telling me it's useful but I literally cannot think of a single use for it.

I'd love a VR/AR headset to (mostly) replace my desktop monitors tbh. Love the idea of being able to have a 2 or 3 monitor setup without having to manage all those physical screens. Nothing is really "there" yet for me, especially for the price.

Other than that? I can't think of much, besides gaming.

I currently do this (mostly) with Xreal Air. There's also Viture, which has proven to be much more FOSS-friendly.

Can confirm I also do this with an xreal air. There's a great extension for gnome called Breezy Desktop that lets you mock an ultra wide monitor in the glasses and it's replaced my dual monitor setup. Still have to take them off every now and then due to VR nausea but I haven't used them too long, hope to move past the nausea.

I do wish I had gotten the vitures for the FOSS friendliness.
