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!
