VR has recently been promoted as a tool for knowledge workers and studies have shown that it has the potential to improve knowledge work. However, studies on its prolonged use have been scarce. A prior study compared working in VR for one week to working in a physical environment, focusing on performance measures and subjective feedback. However, a nuanced understanding and comparison of participants' behavior in VR and the physical environment is still missing. To this end, we analyzed video material made available from this previously conducted experiment, carried out over a working week, and present our findings on comparing the behavior of participants while working in VR and in a physical environment.
