I agree with one thing, untethered is the final destination, ie the headset is the console as wifi is never going to cut it. I don't agree with the walking around part as the main attraction, nor mixed reality. Opaque is certainly useful, yet for maximum immersion you don't want to be limited to your room or have other light sources interfering.

And lol, need to be a tech enthusiast to handle a cord. Only tech enthusiasts played games before wireless controllers! Sitting down will still be the dominant form of playing games. Without tactile feedback, room scale VR is still as limited as playing make believe with motion control already was. It doesn't matter if you can place that virtual block on a real surface. You still can't touch the block, still glitch right through it.

The simple solution to not wanting to shield yourself completely from the world is, don't use headphones. Or do your family and friends always try to get your attention with cue cards?
