I don't know if the AR/VR space will ever get functional as a replacement for standard monitors but there is an interesting bifurcation: some screens are becoming more "real" (touch screens) and some are becoming almost completely dematerialized (projections in our visual field).

I still think conventional large monitors will survive both these new "screen forms" for real work, because the accuracy and amount of information is unbeatable versus an AR/VR set and its not practical to be interacting with a large touch screen.

I fly long distances regularly for my job. One of the things I struggle with is back & neck pain because of working on a tiny, constrained laptop that forces me to look down. Of course in the office or at home I have a decent, ergonomic set-up, but for people that are constantly on the move I could sincerely see an AR-first device as a way of improving quality of life. For this reason alone I'm considering buying one.

The only thing that's withholding me is that I prefer to _try_ devices in real life before ordering stuff like this. I've been disappointed far too many times when ordering stuff from the interwebs :)

Your use case could probably be solved fairly simply by a detachable screen that is attached on the seat in front of you. This is assuming you touch type.

The only thing that might be missing is a universal means to hang the screen without disturbing the folks sitting in front of you. Sounds like a kickstarter type project :-)
