Modulo the whole isolation paranoia thing, sure. I preordered an original Vive way back in 2016 or whatever so I think it's fair to say I know how hot, sweaty, and unpleasant some VR headsets can get.
However (again, modulo the isolation paranoia thing which I think is just completely silly) I am not a person who thinks it's impossible to make a VR/AR headset that doesn't suck to use. What can Apple do for several times the price of any extant consumer headset? I'm interested to find out!
It may be paranoia, but it matches my experience with the PS5 vr. Amazing experience and I love playing it. You have absolutely no connection to folks in the room with you.
I'm talking about this sudden insistence that using screens by yourself, possibly in private, implies that you're some kind of antisocial shut-in.
In fact: I can spend 8 hours playing Elite in VR one day, go out with my friends the next, binge-watch LOTR with my wife the day after that, and then spend a day cranking out a 3000 word manuscript in total distraction-free isolation. These things can all exist in one person, and already do!
