Never thought of that! I do cad design for fun (3d printing/lasercutting). Not sure how actually being in the design itself would help. Although it might feel natural to just move your head around when you are in the middle of a design.
Downside is that a lot of work still is 2d: browsing websites for information. And even casual distraction like reading news, browsing sneakers…
Measuring stuff to make the product fit, requires removal of the headset. Although that might actually be done with vr if it is accurate enough (0.1 mm). Interesting.
