Uh why is a 3d stack better than a list? It might be more fun for the first few minutes but it’s less efficient. When something is your job and you need to get things done, you’ll eventually choose the efficient route instead of the fancy option.

If 3D UI is superior than 2D then 3D video games shouldn’t need 2D UI at all and yet they all do.

3D UI doesn't work when you are playing a video game because you are ultimately using a 2D interface.

Navigation through 3D worlds is clumsy and terrible in video games, but with VR it's just like your everyday life.

I don't expect people to be doing much in terms of fine detail work in VR without some sort of tool like a mouse or keyboard accessible to them, but things like the ability to design web pages that are bigger than a screen, have depth, be able to integrate a full room into the experience, is going to be pretty incredible.

Your baseline experience, what's going to start is having basically virtual monitors so that you can have windows all over the place, from there It will probably evolve into something more native to VR.
