I could see this reinventing the living room.
Imagine in 5-10 years when this tech is perfected. It's a Saturday night. You, your spouse, and 3 kids each have one of these strapped to their face.
Why watch a movie on the couch facing a wall with a traditional flat TV format?
Certainly Disney or whoever will invent 3D interactive plays/games with stadium type immersive entertainment.
Living rooms will become circles like when people playing a board game.
I think what's much more likely:
Parent 1: watching a drama Parent 2: playing a video game Kid 3: zoned out watching a movie/cartoon/playing videogames
See this already with kids that mindlessly consume television while parents just drone out doomscrolling on facebook on their devices.
"It's a Saturday night. You, your spouse, and 3 kids each have one of these strapped to their face."
That sound's like a futuristic hellscape to me. I sure I'm not buying 1 never mind 5.
