Is it possible to make a 2 Player game using VR and a game controller without splitscreen?

I’m a 2nd Year University Student and for our Games Group Project our team have decided to make a 2 player puzzle game where 1 player uses a Gamepad and controls their character at a third person view, while the other player uses a VR headset and can see from above.

We’re currently stuck on how possible this is, so I’ll just ask the 3 main questions that we’re continuously asking ourselves:

  1. Firstly, is something like this even possible in Unreal? (I doubt it wouldn’t be)
  2. We read that we may need to use 2 monitors during development, is this true?
  3. Is this possible to achieve without split screen?

Following cause I have a similar implementation and need to know if this is possible
