I think we’ve got less than 3 years until that’s no longer true. A lightweight, wireless VR headset that you can easily put on when you want to talk to someone gets you all the presence you need for work related tasks. Transmitting points that track head and hand positions take far less bandwidth than video. Video calls have terrible lag compared to any of the VR social experiences I’ve had. The hardware is going to be key though, battery life, weight, hands tracking without controllers, and comfort. There’s good progress on all of those.
