  As more people work from home or during travel, new opportunities and
challenges arise around mobile office work. On one hand, people may work at
flexible hours, independent of traffic limitations, but on the other hand, they
may need to work at makeshift spaces, with less than optimal working conditions
and decoupled from co-workers. Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to change
the way information workers work: it enables personal bespoke working
environments even on the go and allows new collaboration approaches that can
help mitigate the effects of physical distance. In this paper, we investigate
opportunities and challenges for realizing a mobile VR offices environments and
discuss implications from recent findings of mixing standard off-the-shelf
equipment, such as tablets, laptops or desktops, with VR to enable effective,
efficient, ergonomic, and rewarding mobile knowledge work. Further, we
investigate the role of conceptual and physical spaces in a mobile VR office.
