What does Apple see in it ?
They are investing heavily in AR/VR and they have a proven track record in new product categories e.g. smartphone, tablet, headphones, watch.
Once the technologies improve such that the glasses/headsets are light and small enough then it's going to be something you can bring and use everywhere. And then the popularity will increase which in turn will attract developers. Repeat this cycle a few times and you have another $100+ billion App Store business on your hands.
- r00fus 5y agoApple and Oculus/FB have very little overlap. Apple is pushing AR, and Oculus is VR. I don't think it makes sense to conflate those two distinct use cases as the tech is different and user experience is vastly different as well.
- jensensbutton 5y agoFB is pushing AR and VR as I understand it. The VR part is just what's already shipped. I think it'll be similar to iOS/Android because FB will beat Google to the punch.
