First thrust will be solo content consumption and mild work (emails and text docs). And yes, a fair number of early users will sit on the couch or be in bed watching a movie/show, experiencing an immersive environment or reading a book/site handsfree. It will be limited to wealthier people to start, but it will grow as the product iterates and becomes more affordable.
Soon enough, it will be a hybrid of WFH and the office. Some employers will provide this and accept employees working from home if it's consistently used. At some employers, you will see a colleague working in your periphery (as though at a desk beside you) and be able to toggle a pane from your display as visible to them and discuss/share interacting with it and their persona.
Employers will buy a $3500 headset rather than laptop, displays, desk, chairs, and letted office space. You can find that depressing, but I don't think it can be stopped for a fair portion of typical office workers.
Are we expected to sit in the living room with goggles on our heads watching a movie? I mean casually like it’s TV.
I had a 3D glasses projector and the friction for glasses was way less and still it sucked socially.
The overall push to get people put boxes on their heads is so depressing
