Not the OP, but I personally find it a little creepy and more than dystopic. Also, I can pet my dog and even throw him a ball while writing comments on HN, but the VR thing will totally isolate me from him (and the AR thing won't bring anything new to the table, I already know my dog's name, don't need to see it labeled via AR). And even so, I try to limit the time I spent in front of my computer, glueing even more immersive computers to our faces won't do us any good.
