Its potentially great.

I use Horizon Workplace to chat with friends socially that i may otherwise facetime with. When its > 1 person, having the spacial audio and the hand gestures is great. I don't mind not seeing my friends real faces. Adding facial gestures that are real-time and natural would be huge imo and a lot more immersive.

Would i use that for my grandma? No. Online friends? Yes.
