Yeah I definitely do not want a VR winter. Meta uncoupling Facebook from the VR devices was a good move. IMO Oculus should have stayed Oculus under Meta's umbrella and have done its thing. When it went blatantly under Meta and proudly displayed its branding, it pushed VR / AR skeptics further away. Oculus had a fantastic origin story / brand and they stupidly killed it just like that. With the tech's current iteration though, it is not there for social / business. They are far too uncomfortable for such use. Make it almost as inconvenient as my glasses and people won't be able to live without it, a transformation just like smartphones did in our lives. I need to be able to comfortably put it on and get going. People will be using AR everyday through always on spectacles one day. VR for gaming and experiences is AMAZING. But very expensive. When I went from standalone Quest 2 experiences to PCVR experiences, the gap was HUGE. I can't go back to mobile graphics / experiences. Anyways, I doubt people putting on bulky VR glasses (even the new Quest Pro is way too bulky and uncomfortable, not even close) to work / be social will not be a reality anytime soon. VR gaming is still kind of niche and is not a big enough market to justify that amount of R&D costs. So something has to give. Would be very bummed about a VR winter.
