I think the big problem with VR headsets is that theyre kinda too niche on a baseline, they arent the cell phone theyre a wrist mounted computer. Does it have some uses? Sure. But I suspect it will remain largely niche along side racing or flight sim equipment, theyll probably have some military or industrial applications but will largely remain relegated to novelty items.

Funny enough I dont see AR glasses having such a strict issue, namely cause if you synced it to a phone you could use it for hud elements. For example caller ID, map display, or just playing a video in the corner. Though it may still have an issue with eye strain.
