Exactly. It's also just like how "people don't want to wear 3D glasses in a theater". That was wrong too: every single movie today is in 3D.
Oh wait... No movies are in 3D now. They tried (for a 2nd time) and failed and gave up.
VR goggles might get some popularity for gaming, but the "metaverse" thing is just dumb.
AR, however, makes a lot of sense if they can make it convenient. I would love to have some cycling glasses connected by BT to my phone, which show a simple moving map display as I'm riding in the city so I know where to turn, instead of having to stop every so often and pull out my phone to look at where I am.
