Yeah I’m not putting VR googles on my children. That in and of itself makes it a non-starter.

What you describe sounds like a single person experience which is fine but watching a show or a movie can also be a social experience and very often is exactly this. Seeing other people’s reactions and sharing space is a huge part of it. You can’t do that in VR.

AR, not VR. To clarify - and I should have said this in my original post - I'm envisioning the equivalent of a pair of spectacles, not a huge headset, with the knowledge that it's probably many years off...
