The only thing strange on the VR front is I don't understand why Facebook isn't promoting the fitness aspect of VR? I've already lost 20lbs just from playing video games. It would definitely siphon some people away from peleton like products if they did a marketing push in this direction.
It would be great if there was a central VR game hub that kept track of fitness. I know YUR exists, but adoption isn't widespread because it's not built into the platform.

There’s a link to an article about it at the end of this blog post: https://www.oculus.com/blog/oculus-quest-platform-updates-oculus-link-exits-beta-introducing-oculus-move-and-more/ https://www.oculus.com/blog/oculus-quest-platform-updates-oc...
- chaostheory 6y agoFinally! Thank you for pointing it out
- zmmmmm 6y agoYep, I think fitness is actually the hidden "killer app" for VR. As in, it's not the thing I will rave about to my friends or what blows me away with how exciting or fun it is, but it has locked in as an essential part of my life for an hour+ a day, and it easily more than pays for itself.
