I'll believe it when I see it. I think most people will find the cost of strapping on headsets to be greater than benefits of the social presence it provides

For a given headset there is an activation cost and presumed benefit that gets someone to use it. The activation costs will continue to trend downward as passthrough AR gets deployed and size/weight goes down, among other things, and the presumed benefits will go up as cultural norms start to interface with this technology and more and more applications come online.
