I don't get it. Expensive weighted device on my head for long periods, to have media consumption... for one.
We know how the several hundred dollar a piece 3D glasses worked failed, but that at least had media consumption with a few others in the house without being a total recluse.
Vpro doesn't replace televisions. When a group wants to watch something together, they watch it on a television.
Every day, you can look around any group of people and someone's face will be locked on their phone screen. They are not a recluse, nor being extreme anti-social. They are simply watching something they want to watch on the screen that is available to them. If they had friends around and they all wanted to watch the same thing, they might crowd their heads around to watch that little screen together... or maybe they could get to a TV screen to "throw" the video to a bigger screen suitable for a group.
However, countless videos are watched every day by ONE set of eyes... even in group settings. Watch a basketball or baseball game and pay attention when the camera pans through the crowd. LOTS of people will be at a LIVE sporting event but with eyes on their own phone. They are there with tens of thousands of other people but in their own little bubble, checking something else on their own screen.
Consider many of the scenarios where one is in their own bubble staring at their own phone or tablet. How many of them wish they could watch/do whatever it is on a bigger screen? Hop on any airplane and within minutes, most people crammed into tight spaces next to other people will quickly zone out with their own screens & headphones, watching their own thing.
This offers a mobile device that lets them do that sort of thing with any size screen. They don't live in Vpro. They don't always choose Vpro over phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, TV, theater, IMAX screens. They don't completely quit society to permanently vanish into a virtual reality. It's just another kind of mobile tech that delivers a huge screen(s) if you want one in any given circumstance. Use it when it makes sense. Don't when some other kind of screen better fits the situation.
Presumably, Apple fans have more than 1 screen with them a lot of the time. Laptop + iPhone? iPad + iPhone? Laptop + iPad. What makes one screen get their attention vs. the other? Same here.
My own "vision" is to hopefully get a laptop replacement out of this... a 40" laptop screen if you will as I find 16" just far too cramped for the work I do. I expect to use it just like I use a laptop now... which is mostly just me working on a computer. In a family & friends scenario, I'm probably not working on a laptop, so we may all turn on the TV or watch a movie on a movie screen together. However, we all spend a LOT of our time in our own work/play bubbles if we really think about it. Some of that time that it's mostly us- alone (even if there are lots of people around)- staring at a screen of some size doing whatever we are doing could also be us doing the same on any size screen with Vpro. That doesn't mean we lose 1 second of social interaction time with others vs. however we do the same now. It's simply a
different way to do what we are already doing on relatively tiny, physical screens.
