Some of the stuff that’s done well today (e.g. some of the Oculus originals) I already find to be far more immersive and engaging than sitting 20’ away from a screen on the wall.
I think the tech to make AR mainstream for consumers is still years away, and in the meantime, entertainment in VR is the killer app.
I expect this is where Apple may be the main (only?) threat to Oculus. They have the AppleTV+ studios to turn out great original content, and a core skill set in performant and beautiful mobile devices will killer displays. (Not to mention a lot of brand loyalty with folks already in their ecosystem). We’ll see what the price is though…
- mwattsun 5y agoI have high hopes for Apple. Given their reputation for "taste" and design, I would expect something more sophisticated than Meta, not so plug and play. More "Tomorrowland" vs. Meta's "It's a Small, Small World" vibe.
