Welcome to the forum. I think that's an unfair take. They say specifically that anything more than a very simple conversation (what would you like? tea please) and they'll take it off.

Take it off for all interactions with others, yes even “would you like a drink? Yes, tea”.

Why is that simple interaction somehow exempted from “showing others respect”?

Like is he too busy blasting porn into his retinas to take it off?

Or has he paused whatever he’s using the headset for for even that interaction?

Then why leave the mask on?

The whole pass thru tech is so you can see a keyboard or pick up a cup or write something down on paper.

The digital recreation of eyes is a strange dystopian solution looking for a problem.

Saying “I’ve yet to have a problem” is absurd cope.

Ps- welcome to the forum to you too. Apparently I should assume you’re new here or you’d understand that even people who have been participating here for years can still create new accounts.

There’s a high of friction for taking AVP off and on. It’s not as simple as locking/unlocking an iPhone or folding a laptop. Not only is the fit hard to get right, but it takes 3-5 seconds to unlock with OpticID. Might not sound like much, but it’s friction.
