I am glad that Meta is involved - I doubt anyone else would invest as heavily in VR as they are doing right now. Whether they end up being the main player or not in the future, I think this level of investment is actively inspiring the entire industry, and showing what is possible.

Similarly, while essentially all smartphones before the iPhone were stylus or keyboard driven, within years of the iPhone being released there was a viable competitive platform in android. In the VR space, I highly doubt the vive or the pico headset would exist if it was not for the investments of Meta.
