The things you post, you’d didn’t even acknowledge people drink and eat while watching a movie or working, people wear vision correction glasses, they watch movies together. They use an irreplaceable physical keyboard. All this is very difficult with a head set.
I mean knowing me I will buy this XR headset out of curiosity. I have used every VR for 30+ years and became bored with every one of them. Sega VR to Oculus all became boring and uncomfortable. I’ll probably get tired of the Apple one and return it after a week.
Goggles will prevent people from drinking or eating while watching a movie? My shared example of watching a movie was in flight and yes, while flying, I often don't eat or drink while watching a movie.
At home, I have a nice home theater setup. Much of time I'm watching something, I'm not eating or drinking. However, if I want to eat or drink something. neither the current reality nor the goggles scenario would prevent me from doing so (goggles don't block the mouth). I can temporarily stop watching a movie in goggles like I might temporarily stop watching one on TV, iPhone, iPad, MBpro to go get some food or drink.
You do understand that these are not a permanently-affixed thing. Much like putting the phone down to go do anything else, one could remove the goggles... just like removing headphones when done/pausing listening to music. Take the goggles off and go eat & drink. Or leave the goggles on and let the AR show you an overlay of your hands holding the slice of pizza and lifting it to your mouth... or lifting a glass to the mouth to take a drink on top of the screen in the background. That seems to be a logical application of the AR side of things while consuming some form of VR entertainment like watching a movie.
And you do understand that goggles existing as a product won't prevent anyone from watching a movie together? There will still be TVs, iDevices, Laptop screens, in-flight screens, etc for social watching too. I certainly do watch some stuff solo on TVs, iDevices, MBpro, etc AND I watch things as a group on the same TV, at the theater, in the sports arena, etc. Goggles won't kill the latter options, just add another kind of personal screen to options like watching something on a phone or on a laptop screen. I see people doing that everywhere.
Again, in flight, I see people zone out with ear goggles (headphone) to listen to "their virtual stereo" as they fly. I see people zone out (solo) watching something on their phones or tablets or laptops. I'm not grasping the difference if Goggles facilitate holding a bigger screen in front of our eyes, any more than maybe flipping headphones headband down to lay across the eyes. Lift headphones off to hear anything in reality. Lift goggles off to hear & see anything in reality. Same effort & energy as is commonplace now with headphones.
Furthermore, in my example of computing with these substituting as a screen, I very clearly said my vision would use a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad/mouse... so I'd be
feeling a keyboard just like I am this second while viewing what I'm typing on a virtual desktop screen instead of the actual one I'm using now. I agree that the ability to feel the keys seems irreplaceable for this concept. So I'm simply imagining the screen as replaceable, not the input devices I use everyday with reality screens.
