There are a whole bunch of AR glasses and even some portable VR headset window managers that have pass through. SimulaVR has a webcam window but I don't have the hardware to properly try it out, sadly.

The VR screens I've used were all perfectly fine for an hour or so of gameplay, but focusing on text wouldn't be a good experience.

Most of these applications don't even use "monitors", they just render Windows in a 3D space. Virtual monitors can work on Windows, but they need a dummy driver for various reasons (many of them having to do with compatibility).
