What if the headset just projects a display into your view and you can set where it is in relation to the real world AR-style?

Then you just pop your displayless laptop down on the café table and start typing away like you would with a normal laptop, except you're the only one who can see your screen.

No need to wave around any controllers, no danger of accidentally smacking someone's grande venti mocha latte.

So, instead of carrying around a small laptop that is a square and fits in pretty much any bag, you're carrying a keyboard, maybe a mouse, and a full on head sized VR device that only fits in a backpack or a tote bag? Along with lacking the storage that a laptop offer, the offline capacity of it, the battery life of it?

The future sounds _great_.

In addition, I will not let you besmirch the name of the venti mocha latte. Sometimes all you need is three times your daily sugar intake in a single, deadly, way too hot cup of very average coffee.

The "keyboard" can just be a regular laptop with no display. All the storage and power you need.
