Yeah, sounds like fun; I wanted to do that too, didn’t get very far with it.  There are toys like https://github.com/paulolav/mazecompositor (or my fork which attempted to get Oculus Rift support, but it wasn’t very usable) and https://github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Looking_Glass and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-mhqYBm7Xo (an old Microsoft one).  And nowadays maybe it looks like it will be subsumed under AR: you could leave windows open on your walls and they will still be there when you physically go back to that place, perhaps?  Or use a VR headset to have virtual desktop space as far as the eye can see, while sitting at your desk as usual?
