Productivity on VR vs. Desktop

I've always been interested in learning VR / 3D modeling but I have a few questions about this product?

 

I was watching this series, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Gwy0gtgXM&list=PLB0wXHrWAmCyZ8PkoB-NJM7qlakwW7VpU&index=1

 

Here are my questions:

 

1. What is the rationale for a VR tool? Honestly, I cannot imagine standing all day with a VR headset building assets all day.

2. What VR tool was used to do these demos? Was it Valve's VR headset or was this reflected to a large display? 

3. Do you have proof that someone can be as productive on VR as a desktop? I wonder if you create detailed assets with these VR wands.

 

Anyone that does this work now / daily, I would be thrilled to hear from you?

Hi there,

  1.  Fortunately Modeler is a hybrid tool allowing you to switch seamlessly between VR and Desktop, so no need to stand around all day in a headset 🙂 It should feel as natural as switching to a tablet and digital pen for drawing, just a form of input.
  2.  Oculus Quest 2 was used for these demos, though the videos were captured from a desktop display showing what was in the headset.
  3.  We do have strong feedback and research results showing that artists are finding the hybrid workflow very productive in allowing them multiple ranges of freedom to rapidly assemble a scene, block out forms of a character, or rotate an object in multiple axes while applying surface detail. Here's an example from our Beta user group-
 

 

You should definitely check out the Substance 3D Discord community, there's a number of active artists posting work and tutorials that you might find motivational. https://discord.gg/KE65dVVQez 

 

Thanks for checking it out!

    @TylerG 3D As I read this, I got the "Why" now. This allows devs/artist to do real time testing easily of 3D/AR code. I will join the discord community later today.
