My responses:
1. Imagine most of your field of view is filled with the view of a basketball game from courtside seats, a front row of a concert or boxing match, or even a movie. Imagine a movie where a train is coming from the side and you can just turn your head to follow it coming in. People value immersive experiences. That’s why we pay for IMAX tickets and surround sound Atmos speakers. I’d also say the vast majority of time you’re not watching tv with a group of people. In situations where you are, I agree VR makes less sense.
2. Fair point if the tech doesn’t improve.
3 and 4. The phone is a 3x5 rectangle that’s increasing in screen size every year. I don’t see how someone wouldn’t prefer AR that lets people move around in the real world to view something from every angle without holding a small viewfinder in front of them.
Navigation to a building or within it would be much better with good AR. If I’m meeting other parents at my kids school for some event, I can’t keep track of all their names and their kids names. Overlay that information above their head using AR (assuming they share it).
There are tons of other use cases I can think of. I’d say people will wear AR/VR glasses for long periods as long as they provide significant value and are comfortable. I already wear prescription glasses. If you told me the numerous AR use cases I have in mind could be included in them 10 years from now, I’d be all in.
