That's nice but can you use it if your head is under vr?

Normally, I fly by brail. I have key reference points: the corners of the panels, unique switches, etc.
In low pressure situations, that works plenty well enough.
When panicked, it becomes a little riskier: either taking too long to find a vital switch or inadvertently pressing the wrong button.
If I get desperate, I can peek through the nose of the headset.
I fly certain aircraft all the time, so muscle memory works extremely well for those.
The complex startup sequences are fast and easy despite being blind-folded.
Sometimes, two things on opposite sides need to be activated at the same time, which can't be done with a mouse interface, but is easy when I have physical controls and map them in such a way as to mimic the physical position displayed in VR.
I primarily fly VR, but when I want to enjoy the MFD screens, TrackIR is the way to go.
At one point, I had set up the third party VR kneeboard software to put a magenta rectangle around the cockpit and programmed Virtual Desktop to apply passthrough to any magenta areas. At the press of a button I could toggle between VR and VR with passthrough.
It worked really well, but it interferes with stock DCS files for every single aircraft which compromises file integrity, limiting the ability to only join multiplayer servers with file integrity checks disabled.
The MFD displays are automatically disabled in VR, but a simple file hack allows them to function, but that comes with a performance cost.
