In desktop mode we can run several applications and switch between many windows: internet browser, file manager, notes, and so on. We can copy link from browser and insert it to the VR-theater in VRChat. We can play VRChat and find information in the internet at the same time and discuss this information with VRC-friends. So we've got a lot of possibilities in desktop mode and we don't have it using VR. We need "Desktop in VR" mode when we see screen of monitor in VR and able to control our desktop: run applications, switching between windows, copy and paste text, software keyboard, voice input, and so on. We need full control of desktop in VR without having to remove the helmet.

As it stands if the battery's in your Vive wands/Oculus touch controllers (or the upcoming Vive wireless adapter) run out you have to quit out of VRChat and reboot it to switch to Desktop mode witch can hold up game's or ruin the fun you were having because you didn't keep track of which instance you were in.

Would be really handy for people that enjoy working on things (Worlds, Avatars, ETC) while on VRChat or if someone wanted to take a break from VR (To eat or something), without having the exit the game, restart it, and join again
