Nor could I. And I can't imagine sitting next to my wife watching a football game together on my phone. But I could while waiting in line by myself.

Similarly, I could imagine sitting next to my daughter, who is 2,500 miles away at college, watching the name together on a virtual screen we both share. And then playing mini-golf or table tennis together.

Different tools are appropriate for different use cases. Don't dismiss a hammer because it's not good at driving screws.

Yes, these are all very good points. You’ve got me awaiting the future of the tech a bit more eagerly.

FYI, those use cases are the present, not the future, of tech.

Co-watching TV? Big Screen: https://www.bigscreenvr.com/software

Mini-Golf? Walkabout Mini Golf: https://www.mightycoconut.com/minigolf

Table Tennis? Eleven Table Tennis: https://elevenvr.com/en/

All are amazing, polished experiences in VR that give you a sense of being "present" with someone a continent away.
