Hey I am a engineer working in this space. To me I think there are a few factors - 1) I think the whole metaverse thing grew way beyond what Meta/Mark Zuck initially thought (said this in a recent verge interview). Also people seem to think that the intention is that ar/VR will replace real life, when that isn't the goal. The goal is to replace current time spent on Facebook/Snapchat/TikTok/etc 2) kids definitely love VR. I think us old farts don't seem to realize that. 3) the biggest point to me is this - do we really think that the current way we interact with computers is not going to change in the next 10-20 years? Using little glass rectangles? AR is the real prize - it will really add interesting new capabilities What people don't seem to get is that everyone is still feeling out the tech. Mixed reality is only just getting started, AR is still very immature.
