Everyone has this mindset that VR must be coupled with greater immersion. I think the real “value unlock” will be when it’s just for casual side browsing alongside daily life, like how most people use smartphones
Will the tech ever get there? Will this even be good for daily life? Probably not. But it might be addictive enough to displace smartphone usage.
Immersion is too intense. Nobody wants to be immersed for more than maybe an hour, so VR will always just be a toy
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI guess maybe it'll have a chance with low-profile "Meta glasses". The joy of smartphones is their ubiquity and super low friction to use - until one can easily pull out the AR during a boring moment in a restaurant I can't see it having the same draw.

- reustle 4y agoI think the already available NREAL Air is a nice glimpse at where the tech is today https://youtu.be/Oq-n9WJBI0Q https://youtu.be/Oq-n9WJBI0Q
- vlunkr 4y agoThose look pretty cool. Also good to see other companies getting products out there. It would be terrible if Meta gets a stranglehold on the ecosystem.
