I mean… I think Apple hasn’t totally missed VR, and is still the only company that seems to have much of a chance of making it work…
But, a good hockey player doesn’t skate in the direction that absolutely nobody else is heading, somewhere that might even be outside the rink (in the sense that we haven’t really shown if a good UI for VR can actually be created, yet, so it might not even be a possible “part of the game,” so to speak).
I think VR is not a serious business for Meta, just something Zuck is doing for fun. Why not, rich enough to goof off, right? They spent $4b to make $400M on their headsets.
A better business model would probably be to pay people a couple hundred dollars to take their headsets. At least that might result in some install base.
