That really depends on what you're doing with the device I guess. For gaming, controllers will remain indispensable, and you're planning to disconnect from the real world for a while anyways.

For everything else, quickly being able to grab a snack or drink, respond to a phone notification or change the place you're using the device from reduce friction.

It might be enough to push VR over that "I don't want to use the device because I don't want to commit to not doing anything else for at least 30 minutes now" hurdle that still very much exists.

That being said, I have no doubt Meta is going to be able to get there in due time too.
