VR, AR, AI. Three two letter buzzwords. All of them have massive unexplored potential on the desktop.

You are asking the wrong question, because you are looking at the existing market. You need to analyze trends, news and cutting edge science, have imagination, vision and forward thinking. That's obviously also hard, but it's not like looking for an empty field in the forest where you want to plant your trees.
You might find "Blue ocean strategy" a good book.

- kowdermeister 10y agoI don't know, but I can imagine a wireless headset that talks to a powerful machine. Remember also that by desktop we don't really mean a huge crate anymore. Laptops are still hard to miss out of daily work. I spend most of my day sitting next to one so I wouldn't say AR is not a desktop category.

It's great to run the server on the powerful desktop, and use it to display an overall view of the world. https://vimeo.com/149319403 https://vimeo.com/149319403
