A lot of people think of VR and immediately associate it with First Person. Look at a game called Tethered on Playstation VR, it is a god game where you manage a village of creatures mining resources and building structures, but it gives you an excellent overview of the map and allows you to switch view points quickly by looking at a different cloud in the sky. Anyways, I think having a virtual map where you can do the same micromanagement would actually be more immersive than launching a rocket off your coffee table.
I do like the hololens but I actually think VR would be superior in this case because outside of the base management, you can pop into the first person and fly or explore.
