Such technology can enhance learning, remote collaboration, and entertainment, providing unprecedented interactivity and convenience. Nevertheless, barriers including device affordability, user comfort, and privacy concerns may impede rapid adoption. Furthermore, prolonged use raises questions about social isolation and physical health.
