I'll state the obvious: very few people are willing to be seen in public with VR strapped to their head.
Lack of software support and sticker price aside, wearing this puts you on the cover of a 1980s Popular Mechanics magazine with a special article by Isaac Asimov.
It's just not the vibe the general public is interested in. No matter how many times you try. Snap, Google, Oculus, etc.
Sitting in your basement gaming? Sure.
At the coffee shop telecommuting? Newp.
