The idea of wearing a VR headset so I can "enjoy photos with friends" is absolutely hilarious and so deeply disconnected from what human beings want and need as a species.

Every time I see the spatial photos and spatial videos, I always view it as someone putting on their VR headset to reliving a memory of someone who died. Then they take the headset off and realize they are alone and the loss broke them. I have a lot of trouble not seeing those videos from a very depressing place.

People are totally allowed to watch videos of their children without their children being dead.

This is true. I think it's the fade effect they add to the edge of it, it seems like an effect that would be used in a movie to show a memory of someone who died.

It's all about tradeoffs. If you get at the same time:

- gigantic (virtual) screens showing your photos/videos in a spectacular way

AND

- a incredibly small, light, comfortable, and almost unnoticeable (e.g. glasses) headset

then, yes people will absolutely use that instead of actual photos printed on paper.

Obviously we're not there yet.
