On: Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple...

What I want is a dollar for every evangelist and every early adopter that has told me that the ?R explosion is right around the corner. I have worked in the game industry for 30 years and would be well retired by now, had I made my money by listening to people tell me how ?R would be mainstream in Just A Few Years Now. The tech industry NEVER tires of telling that story and hearing it. Yet it never, ever, EVER happens as a mainstream product.

Maybe the problem is that actual reality is very three dimensional, and incredibly detailed and immersive.

The people who can afford thousands of dollars on VR gear that will be obsolete in three years generally spend their days in nice environments.

If you want VR to catch on, make it dirt cheap, so that people in crummy circumstances can use it to escape from reality.

Buy a Quest 3, VR is already here, not sure what you're talking about
