Hi, Sam! Don't you think that AR/VR is overvalued by large companies? Microsoft has not created Google, Wal-Mart has not created Amazon, Ford has not created Tesla.
- sbierwagen 11y agoA startup is best suited for new product categories/new business models. (Nobody does a startup to directly compete in an established market) VR is just "gaming, but more", and requires enormous piles of cash to spend on the hard technical challenges it poses. (1000dpi displays with kilohetez refresh rates) Big companies are fairly well suited to these "build me a faster horse" problems, I'd say.
- tdaltonc 11y agoAn enterprise software company (Microsoft) made the most popular video game console. A search company made the worlds most popular navigation and email tools. A consumer e-commerce company is the the biggest supplier of enterprise cloud services. There are more people working on 'x' outside of big companies then there are people working on 'x' inside of big companies. So really, it's surprising that big companies break in to new verticals as often as they do. Anything could happen.
