* If you are a VR dev, popping in and out of a headset dozens of times a day is a pain.
* If you are in marketing, getting someone passing by to put on a headset is a challenge.
* If you are a player, buying a headset without checking out the content first is risky.
All of this comes down to the fact that VR/XR is awesome if you commit to a full session that makes it worth strapping in. But, has been no middle ground that lets you just stick your nose in the door and check out what's up inside.
I saw a live demo of this at SVVR. You would definitely get gorilla arm if you tried to hold a tablet up high for a long contiguous duration. But, holding it casually, walking around with it down low, and looking through it in spurts is no problem.
YouTube VR and other platforms with VR can be viewed similarly so you don't need to have googles strapped to your face. It's not nearly as immersive, but you can at least look around in the VR environment and see things. Of course there were things like Google Cardboard as well to get over the hump of no goggles available. There's not really a viable AR use case, so I'd imaging things like this will keep popping up
I video it and demo it on a tablet since it helps make it clear how it works, but my preferred display device is a Galaxy Fold. Pockets great, and is a nice comfortable size when unfolded.
