    I think I disagree, I live in an apt that’s by no means luxurious. I’ve spent some time in VR and there’s just so long I’d be willing to spend in a fully virtual space. If you have dogs or people around you, you fully isolate yourself from them. If you want a cup of coffee or a glass of water the context switch could become a small inconvenience, etc for other small everyday stuff that VR hinders.

    But I totally get what you’re saying and I’d love to have the option of both, but that kind of necessitates that AR tech advances as well as VR.

      Yeah, one of the things I’m not convinced about that Apple device is that, if I want to share a moment with my son or my cats, I don’t like any kind of device to interfere with it. I’m bothered even by smartphones. My moments are mine, and I’m free to isolate myself if I want (it’s normally what I want). And my shared moments are dedicated to those I share them with, without any technological clutch in the way. Maybe that’s why I agree with Carmack.
