Everyone who wants to use a browser or do any typing in VR will use it. It's basically inevitable. I could even see this move to smart devices for regular typing once the eye tracking is advanced enough. |

A virtual keyboard using just eye tracking would be very tiring if used regularly, just try focusing your sight on a series a few tens objects for more than a few tens consecutive times, if you don't believe it, and consider that two lines of text can already exceed one hundred characters.
A virtual keybord using tracking of fingers movements on it could be fine instead, the eye won't be stressed more than when using a real kb, but it will require motion control fine enough to precisely track phalanges to work, and there are others applications that will greatly benefit from VR+motion control so fine, if they even won't be possible at all without, that's the reason why I'm quite sure that this generation of VR devices will start launching VR a lot better than the previous ones, but it won't be the one that makes it mainstream.
Anyway I agree that for people with disabilities current devices could already be a great improvement compared to previous ones.
