Alexandra is an open source Elite Dangerous companion app specifically designed for virtual reality. The idea behind Alexandra is to focus all interactions into the game world and maintain immersion.

You should never have to open a web browser to look something up or use a UI that is not part of the game to complete a task. All interactions with the companion app are through natural language, so you don't need to memorize any commands.

Alexandra has the ability to do research for you, understand your situation using game data, and remember your intentions and goals. It is reactive to your requests, not proactive. You can communicate with Alexandra through a push-to-talk button on your HOTAS or keyboard.

This type of companion app has been my dream for a really long time. The fluid conversation really helps with the role-play aspect of Elite Dangerous, and I end up feeling like I have an actual shipmate to bounce ideas off.
