you can't shrink your head. The smallest version is a pair of glasses. There was a privacy concern when people started wearing Google glasses in public if I remember correctly. The norm has to be respected until the norm changes.



The problem with Google Glasses was that they looked basically like glasses (being AR), in many ways other than size - starting with the fact that they were transparent. A VR headset, even if it's equally compact, won't look like glasses - certainly not if the designers don't want it to.


But Zuck is surely talking about AR glasses here, right? Full VR isn’t going to be a ubiquitous platform like phones/laptops etc.


Have you seen the size of the latest batch of flagship phones? They're a heck of a lot bigger than my glasses.


Why not a contact lens? Or a brain implant.


Facebook in my brain sounds like a nightmare.


worked great for Johnny mnemonic.
