After having tried out PSVR, which I found kind of awful, so much so that the smartphone VR seemed like a step forward compared to it, I was highly skeptical of the whole ordeal. Then my friend showed me Microsoft’s Mixed reality headsets and I was on board with some slight misgivings about the feasibility of using it for longer than 20 minutes at a time, plus it still came with a bit of a hassle. This year I purchased a Quest2 after reading through the feature list and I was honestly really impressed. Oculus managed to create a truly viable mass market capable rendition of a VR headset. Unfortunately Facebook itself is kind of the biggest enemy when it comes to their own product. From what I’ve seen as a general response and my personal experience also is that people would like a VR headset to experience VR stuff; games, videos, the likes. Facebook would like you to strap a Facebook machine to your face and watch ads, hyper-targeted to you with as much highly personal information used to target as possible. And that’s where the disconnect seems to be. Because Oculus is clearly capable of making VR happen as a viable platform - the question really is: will Facebook let them?
