Oh wow. I just had an epiphany. This is why companies are still treating VR as a serious product that might have a large market, even as AR seems much better-suited to a mass consumer market and surely not that much farther off than good VR (perhaps closer, even). VR headsets with just a few sensors would make excellent isolation & monitoring tools for things like this.
Now I get why Facebook (Meta, whatever) decided to get into it. I'd not been able to piece it together until just now. Of course there's a spyware angle front & center. It all fits now. Their main market's probably intended to be business, but education makes sense, too.
