this thinking is colossally misguided. People bought more laptops than desktops because they are less intrusive with real life. They bought even more phones because they are even less intrusive. A VR set is 100% obstructive , so it doesnt fit this category. it is something you use when you can "depart from real life". If something like that is the goal, the nearest thing was something like google glasses. it would have to be very useful for people to tolerate wearing glasses practically all the time (You wouldnt want to be carrying the glasses on hand).
The form factor of a phone is that of a book or notebook, and that has been favored by people for thousands of years because our hands are expressive. glasses are generally a nuissance that is tolerated because of vision issues. If the goal is really immersion with real life, it seems that neural interfaces a more likely candidate and that s the direction they should be going (or at least make something more mobile than mobile)
