The problem is people are not addicted to their phones enough. Strapping a screen to everyone’s eyes is the solution, and it even conveniently allows advertisers to show unimaginably large billboards without paying for the physical space…
I think VR headsets have a place in gaming, content consumption and maybe prosuctivity (if I can plug to to my computer and use it to display countless huge monitors). Having them be a mainstream fashion thing that you wear in public is not for me. Their objective is obviously to achieve something that Google Glass wanted to do, but the tech today only allows for huge headsets. Sadly it will come soon enough
