> There's no killer app for VR
We'll end up quibbling about the definition of "killer app" but I think there's dozens killer apps for VR. If you mean "an app that will make it as popular as the smartphone" then you're right. But that's a strangely high bar. If you mean "an app that is compelling enough to sell a reasonably large number of headsets" then that definitely already exists. (but then we can enjoy quibbling about what "reasonably large" means)
- ehnto 5y agoI think the idea of a killer app for VR misses the point a bit anyway. It doesn't need a killer app since it doesn't need mainstream adoption. If we are looking for a mainstream adoptable use case it is probably in AR. VR has a specific use case and that's fine.
