    Why do people think you’re supposed to wear that all day long? I don’t think it was ever marketed as a permanent piece of headwear.

    I’ve always assumed that every VR or AR system was intended to be used for a session and taken off, seems obvious.

      I don’t think Apple themselves marketed it this way, but viral photos of people being spotted on subways and walking down the street wearing one probably didn’t help sell the product.

      Namely what the features are and the functionality of it. I mean if you are expecting to use it in a closed controlled area, then for the most part the pass through side isn’t necessary, the screen showing your eyes to outsiders is completely meaningless. So I guess the point is, there isn’t really a defined ideal place to use it. It isn’t super useful in one place, it’s made to be slightly helpful, everywhere.

      Which of course begs the question, where is it intended to be used. when is the ideal time to put it on, and then how long should a session be before you take it off.
