I always pour water on the AR VR user input ideas - The calorific need is too high - and thinking in 3D results in an unnecessary cognitive load.

Since this thread probably has more Finance users than usual - most people have seen a bloomberg terminal. Its ugly, and filled with arcane short cuts.

Its extremely extremely good at getting its job done, and keyboard short cuts and commands are the fastest system once you gain expertise.

Keyboard short cuts and memorized lists of invocations will regularly be the fastest way of activating commands on a system for experts. Especially once it becomes muscle memmory.

For most abstract symbol manipulation, most jobs can get away with a stack of 2D pages.

If you are working in 3D, then you are doing a pretty unique set of modifications, and the average case will not apply to you.

Which is to say that AR VR will be only for a very niche set of uses.
