VR becoming the new TV is highly unlikely because many people multitask while watching TV. this is very difficult to do with VR.

I was thinking more of TV in the way it captured audiences in the 50s, 60s, 70s. You're probably right though that AR has a bigger chance of capturing something like the way TV is interacted with today (a background activity).

I was more thinking about the "second screen" multitasking that's quite common. With VR, the second screen is like build-in.
