A recent Oculus Quest rumor suggests the Facebook-owned VR company could be bringing Android apps to its headsets.
Its part of a growing movement to make VR useful for more than gaming.
New apps do everything from allowing you to exercise to work in a virtual world.

“This would include replacing most of the functionality of todays televisions, computers, and phones.
“Consumers have grown very used to having a seamless user experience.
Work is the next frontier for VR as most apps released for users are games, observers say.

Dont Toss Your Laptop Just Yet
Oculus Quest 2 ownerBrian Turneris already using his headset for work.
“In a similar vein, Android would be useful in VR by virtue of empowering the user.
But Turner isnt giving up his laptop until VR headsets get better battery life.
He said his Oculus Quest 2 lasts about three hours on a full charge.
“Until the next evolution in VR technology, this will be a significant inhibitor.”
Not everyone agrees that laptops are heading to the trash bin anytime soon.
