User studies demonstrate enhanced flexibility alongside interface challenges of virtual displays in knowledge work, highlighting the need for increased resolution and field of view.
In this paper, we explore the potential of virtual displays in sup-porting knowledge work, focusing on scenarios where conventional physical monitors fall short. Our research investigates the feasibility and productivity costs of extending or replacing physical monitors with augmented and virtual reality displays. We present three com-pelling use cases, illustrating how virtual displays enhance flexibility, adaptability, and customization in remote and diverse work settings. Lessons learned from user studies highlight hardware and interface design challenges, emphasizing the need for larger resolution and field of view in head-worn displays (HWD). We conclude the paper with research opportunities and a call to address the evolving demands of knowledge work interfaces.
