I have extremely mixed feelings about the fact that Apple seems to have "solved" AR by faking it through VR, and that means that with some iteration, a battery improvement, and a price drop, this could truly be the next revolutionary device that people can't help but want to use. And I am scared of what it means for our society when "eye contact" no longer means a direct connection in person, but an indirect one through 2 cameras and 2 screens. Obviously this is old hat for Facetime, and all remote collaboration. But in-person too?
