Getting to the next level of editing in VR may require more of an AR approach. I don’t mean you can see VR objects in the real world, I mean you can see real world objects in VR. More than just using the two controllers, having real world objects that map into the VR space might be useful.
Like if you had a simple hand-sized cube, you could map a VR object to it and then when you move the cube in the real world, you move the object in VR space. Or maybe if you had a real world tablet that mapped into VR it would provide a more substantive means of interacting with the menus. Heck, what about an entire workbench of such tools?
Just a thought.
