Is anyone using VR to collaborate remotely with colleagues?

My engineering team is entirely distributed. We write software and build architecture to process data.

We joke about using VR all the time to whiteboard projects. There's probably a lot of other collaborative stuff we could be doing in there as well. The problem is, only one person has an HTC Vive, so we can't test if this is useful.

I'm curious if anyone is using VR in this capacity for real work.

Do you use it often? Is it beneficial? Are there any benefits that surprised you? Anything you thought would work that doesn't?

Does anyone get enough benefit to justify business expenses to buy VR for your teams?
