How do they envisage this would work? It would merely make you hate the thing in the ad more.
Isn't it the path advertising is taking already? Shovel the product down your throat... I mean have you watched a YouTube video lately and did you enjoy the zillion interruptions?
If VR or AR goggles ever do become widespread, they will almost certainly be like the corporate hell UI from Ready Player One with 90% of your vision taken up by seizure inducing brainrot tier ads, or the scene from Altered Carbon where the only point of the contact lense is to add insane holographic signs and displays to every 5 feet of a street.
