Right now on zoom hardly anyone turns on their camera. Does Zuck really expect people to put on a headset for an hour long meeting with a bunch of corporate drones? The guy is fantasizing and this product will be a flop.

Honestly, I think the main problem with that is the meeting/participants itself instead of the technology enabling it.
The main idea behind this sort of tech is that this will make it possible for online meetings to be practically the same as meeting face to face, which saves time, money and resources and thus is very valuable.

But that’s my point. The issue is the meeting participants, not the technology. No one wants this. It’s just Zuck’s fantasy.

Except for the fact that this is very valuable for anyone who will not have to travel (as much) anymore (which is basically everyone).

What problem is this solving that is not solved by zoom?

The human need for more realistic interaction

Ah yes. The realistic interaction provided by strapping a device on your face to watch people make bored movements in an unnecessary meeting.
Who are you convincing here?

if you could make a device that could present a fake reality that could be be indistinguishable from reality
wouldnt people and corporations be interested in it? what if you want to have a face to face conversation with your wife about something important but you are in a military base or you missed your flight? what if your therapist broke his leg and can still give the reassurance of face to face meetings from her own home? what if two businessmen could meet with this device and discuss whatever business plans they have in the setting of a virtual restaurant since one lives in china and the other in saudi arabia?
or instead of travelling on a 12 hour flight you just pop on your headset and when you're done you can go back to your family?

It's true that currently Zoom meeting are usually without cameras being on, only microphones and only when you actually talk.
