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
If I can give Apple credit for one thing is they keep their primary OS pretty free of ads and junkware. Like when I open my Apple TV it’s just a grid of apps vs my Google TV which has a huge ad for a show on a streaming network you might not even subscribe to. Now what companies do inside their apps is a different story of course.
I’m pretty sure Apple did not intend for them to be worn in public. From the way they function to the way they market them, seems to be a “sitting in your comfortable space not fumbling a laptop” type of device, not really a “go jogging” or “ride the train” or “autopilot your Tesla like a complete moron” type of thing despite what some people just assumed.
