    Here AR is a push to normalize VR in different settings where you need to pay attention to what’s outside your googles. Even in social ones - that’s why they tried these eyes on the surface. I’m sceptical some would wear them daily while doing chores, but I was also sceptical about people casually talking to their BT airpods on the street.

      Bluetooth headsets have existed for eons at this point. People walking around with airpods isn’t really that much of a step.

        Yes, and I used one. But in Nokia days it was mostly work related. You didn’t usually stumble upon that many persons talking to air in public. Now writing voice messages and chatting via headset is way more normalised.
