I’m probably in the smaller majority of people who are very excited about it, but still expect it to flop (or at least flounder for a while). I used a Quest 2

I’m probably in the smaller majority of people who are very excited about it, but still expect it to flop (or at least flounder for a while).
I used a Quest 2 as virtual monitors for a week or so of real work and it was uncomfortable and sweaty and I was isolated and had to keyboard and mouse by touch, but the viewing experience was amazing. And I do use my Quest 2 frequently for games and “workouts” and entertainment. So I’m solidly in the market for this.
But the main thing is that I want to try it, mostly for the AR. I’ll reserve any fanboy comments until I’ve tried it.
Someday, someone is going to get AR/VR right. This isn’t it, but it seems to be moving in the right direction.
I don’t have high hopes for free space holographic displays, a la Star Wars or Minority Report, but augmented reality fills the same niche (with many of the same drawbacks and benefits).
