> To immerse yourself, you need to block out your peripheral vision and everything else. But what if that's what I want? I want VR so I can experience totally different worlds fully as if I was there. I can do that safely from my living room. I want AR so I can live the cyberpunk dream of seeing data and other extra info overlaid on top of my normal vision while out in public. I don't think either concept is flawed, they just have different purposes for different times and places.

I want VR so that I can have 8 different monitors and even more desktops. I want this at work so I can have different remote sessions up and just look right to see the current metrics, left for slack and email, vs code central...

  I expressed this same desire to a friend, who warned me of the VR goggle marks left on your head when you take them off after a long session. I want the VR monitors, but I'm wary of having a permanent mark on my head from wearing them for 8 hours a day for days on end...

    That's why a proper VR headset wins over the various cheap "strap your iphone in" things. The comfort on the latest headsets (that are not cheap, granted) are orders of magnitude better.

      Anything worn long enough is gonna leave a mark. Ask anyone on CPAP

        True - but, the degree and type of mark will likely be different.

      Is an HTC Vive considered "proper"? I used one for an hour last week and had a red mark on my face for most of dinner.

    If this is the mark of the beast, I'll take it.

I'd imagine a mature AR product can still perform full VR.
