A good bicycle can be easily as expensive as the AVP. Imagine the experience to ride a bike, would be marketed to us the same way we are told about seeing a 3d AVP experience. Riding a bike through the landscape is 1000 times the sensory experience. One can choose to go into a consumption mode with an AVP or be active and move oneself outside through a real 3d space, the landscape we live in. What is better for the health? Mental and physical. I would guess that the AVP is a temporary device to get 'us' into a future with different hardware for spacial computing. Something for the developers and early adopters -> the actual mass market(s) then will look differently. The current trend in tech is that the stuff&servives we use is becoming more and more a mental burden to us: information overload, distraction, noise, manipulation, control, ... the future that has been warned about is now here and a lot of people can't handle it. The AVP is the 3d version of it. It has potential, but there are a lot of warning signs on its effects on society. People get more and more disconnected from the reality. We'll already see lots of people staring at screens, instead of interacting with their immediate surroundings. This will get worse...
