Curious what you don't like about it. So many of the people who say this are basing on assumptions that are either solved or on a clear path to being solved. For example people say it's uncomfortable : solved now by Quest Pro. People say resolution isn't high enough. Clear path to being solved as display tech and foveated rendering takes over. Don't like being isolated? Solved by Quest Pro with high quality pass through and open side profile. Can't type without seeing your hands? Solved by Quest Pro. Experienced nausea once upon a time using VR? I will bet 80% chance its solved because the tech has gotten vastly better.

I guess I just don't see what the benefit would be in the first place. I can see the benefit fine for video games and similar, but not really for using microsoft word or coding. But then again I haven't tried it

> uncomfortable : solved now by Quest Pro. For a lot of people the very fact you have a device on your head is what's uncomfortable. Screens in front of your eyes, your senses boxed in. That's the point of VR, which is why it won't be adopted as widely as some are hoping.

Is the "owned by an ridiculously evil corporation that makes it's money by creating social strife, ruining society, destroying lives and brainwashing people"-problem on the path to being solved?

They probably disagree that it's solved. I"ve used Quest 2 and the idea of having to do my job with it is excruciating.

  I would say you kind of exemplify the problem then. The Quest Pro is aimed like a laser at fixing all of these issues (with the exception of resolution, my main gripe). But your willingness to extrapolate your experience on a $300 headset to infer the limit of everything that will ever be possible is way over-reaching. Of course, I am over-reaching in the sense that I haven't tried the Quest Pro yet so who knows how real any of the improvements are. But I don't have any trouble believing the tech will get there whether it's this product or future ones.
