Have been thinking of doing something similar. The sad reality is that social distancing and WFH also impose huge barriers because nobody has a headset and sharing them is now both inconvenient and unsanitary. Hoping that post-COVID it doesn't form a permanent setback for headset market growth.
- monkeydust 6y agoLack of access to headsets is a massive issue for the industry. I do think if people could 'try' XR easily somewhere it would help with adoption but I struggled to find anywhere around London months back where you could do that. What is worth noting though is the Qualcomm release* last week on their XR plans. It is interesting because they are tying it to 5G. Mobile network operators who have spent billions on the infrastructure and now need to find compelling use-cases for customers are partnering up with them. This could mean you get a XR headset with your next mobile phone plan. * https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2020/05/26/qualcomm-collaborates-15-global-operators-deliver-xr-viewers https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2020/05/26/qualcomm-c...
