Not yet although it does sound like good use of VR.
Had my first experience with it last week in a co-op mode. The family did a VR Escape Room experience while on vacation. It worked relatively well, although it definitely had some glitches in it, and frankly was not all that "virtual". I could tell I was still looking at monitors because there was no real peripheral vision (tunnel effect).
It was similar to Bridge Crew in that you worked as a team and the scenario (caught in a space station about to explode and you have to escape). Since most of the experience is "sitting" either in a chair or in a jet pack, you didn't have to "walk" as any movement was propelled.
The hand controls were cool as it used a "Leap Motion" unit on front of the Rift. It was about 90% accurate and the sight of bringing your hands up in front of you and having them appear was more engaging then having to hold something.
One of my teammates did have a major glitch towards the end where his body got distorted and he looked like he had has head up his rear. He was also seeing this distorted image but was able to complete the last task despite it. We lost about two minutes of time laughing hysterically at his mangled body as he tried to move his "arms".
