I think the real value proposition of VR in general is "like a big monitor, but it fits in your backpack and you can use it everywhere" and not the successor to smartphones.

Direct social interactions seem really... creepy. It somehow appears rude, like looking at your phone while speaking or pointing a smartphone in someone's direction while potentially filming them.

But if this device enables WFH in the garden/nature where it's too bright for laptops or installing a desktop would be impractical, now that sounds great!

Direct social interaction while wearing things on one’s face will become second nature as quickly as interactions while wearing AirPods (or a Covid mask).

This is better than a Covid mask in that even Version 1 lets people see “behind the mask”, kind of. By version 14 it’ll be so completely natural that it won’t occur to anybody on HN to even comment on this aspect of it.

This is why I find all the comments I see on here about needing a killer app baffling. We already value both screen real estate and portability. Devices already compete on both.
