The key for me will be if it can meet it's core proposition of making a virtual world as good as the real one.

At a basic level of I'd be willing to binge netflix on it rather than a TV. That would be the start.

What if I preferred it to going to the cinema? Already a win.

What if it can make it feel like you're having lunch in a restaurant? Perfect.

It doesn't really do any of these things. More like having wallpaper of a photograph of a restaurant

There are already applications on the Quest to use your physical keyboard, and either see it (AR) or see a representation of your keyboard as well as your hands.
