No. Especially if it is 100% proprietary.

strapping goggles to my head to send an email sounds like what my personal hell is going to be like

imo VR is fun for games but beyond that it’s too dystopic for my taste lol

For myself, the answer is no. Something lightweight and comparable to spactacles I might wear. Anything heavier which needs to be strapped on I would not use.

It’s a cool gadget which I’d love to try but no way would buy. It just doesn’t do anything practical that I can’t already do quicker, easier and more effectively with more traditional devices. it’s far too expensive to justify as a fun gadget.

The article is right, very few people would want to sit with this on their head in the company of other people. It’s a generally a solo experience.

I could see it being extremely useful for those with disabilities though and I suppose if anyone can bring mixed reality devices more to the main stream it’s going to be apple
