- astrange 10mo agoI think it's interesting that people associate being in VR with being unable to interact with other people. I personally think it promotes living with other people because it reduces conflict. Like, if you and your kids want to watch different movies on the living room TV then you can just give it to them and use XR glasses for yourself.

- astrange 10mo agoEver tried sleeping in bed while someone next to you is on their phone? It's not the kind of conflict you should promote. XR glasses are better in that case because the glare doesn't affect other people.
