online meetings will fundamentally take place in fdvr. You’ll go to “sleep” and spawn online where you can teleport to different rooms and talk to people whether it’s AI or humans that are also “dreaming” in cyberspace.

The only people who have done this are crazy youtubers who sleep/spend 24 hours or up to a week in minecraft vr/ocarina of time as an experiment and they say it is cool but ultimately left them worse than before

Unless the HMD is drastically changed I don't see this becoming a normal reality for anyone

AR is proven to reduce transmission in covid-19 because people aren’t touching their phones which are contaminated.

LoL what? Pls send me the link! This sounds so ridiculous to me I need to read that source to be able to believe it! How does my phone gets contaminated in the first place? To decontamination it all I have to do is wipe it with a wet cloth and just wash your hands regularly! And I'll still touch my phone anyways to do phone stiff with it ;P

Such VR meetings would be certainly more interesting than looking at a 2D screen with Zoom calls. But I wouldn't want to sit for hours with Quest 2 on my head. They must make them more comfortable for using them for longer periods of time.
