Seems unlikely to me unless you think your children are going to be using computers with flat screens on walls like we do today.

100%. Don't believe in the cyberpunk AR/VR future.

They said oculus would fade, not VR/AR in general.

VR isn't a thing, and won't be. Just like 3d TVs. Nobody outside of tech cares about it.

  If you assume I'm talking about "VR" it shows you don't really have the same mental model of what they're trying to do at Oculus. They're creating a hardware/software proxy over your senses. This is the logical endpoint of computing. VR is just another transitional bridge.

    I think you re talking about neuralink and the like

    And that's never going to happen.

      So in 100 years you think we'll still be using flat rectangular displays to interface with computers? I'd happily bet against you if I'd still be around to collect.

I happen to think the problems with VR are rooted in the laws of physics, or at least human physiology, rather than the limitations of hardware. Can you trick my eyes into focusing on infinity when the actual focus point is three cm away? Maybe? Can you trick my inner ear into accepting the virtual reality? Ok, how? AR is a different story, but Oculus would be starting from zero on an AR play, the only company with a genuine head start is Apple.

  Uh not really, Oculus has been working on AR for years and has prototype glasses in the field. They're probably ahead of Apple if I had to guess. VR is the bootloader for AR.
