> When I can just slip on a pair of VR/AR glasses and throw away my monitor is the moment I believe VR/AR has "made it". They also have to last a good amount of time between charges (wired AR glasses are likely going to be a no-go outside of the office). It's likely going to be a while before AR becomes viable as more than just a novelty. My guess is that Meta is banking on there being an intermediate commercial stage, where enough corporate customers come on board for visualization & remote work use that they're able to maintain engineering momentum. It's also possible that a consumer oriented product is farther along the development pipe than expected. Apple is likely the only company at this point that could force mass-adoption with a first generation product. If they release something in, say, 2023 and it becomes widely adopted, Meta would be positioned better than most competing companies to capitalize off of it.
