I wonder how it compares to staring down at one's phone though. At least in an AR scenario, you're looking straight ahead right? I can both see how that could improve your spatial and social awareness, but I can also see how you could tunnel vision on your content just as easily.

When you look at your phone, I can tell you're looking at your phone. If you're wearing a headset I have no idea where you're actually looking. And you could be pointing your face straight at me but completely gone watching a video or something.

Eyes are such a fundamental part of human body language. We need to be able to see each others to have effective communication.
