VR has a place. I don't know if Meta is capable of getting it there. Occulus is a great piece of tech, I own one and I enjoy it. My wife who does not game at all, also likes it. There are games like Beat Saber a few others that are good for getting the masses in. And games like Half Life Alyx that can get gamers in. But outside of that there is nothing that really makes it seem like an improvement to life, its still a novelty. >when you look at the software side. Horizon is a horrible pile of ugly jank that no one uses. I gave it another shot for the first time in ages last week after seeing an advertising campaign for a deep faked Notorious BIG concert in Horizon. Long story short, the “live metaverse concert” Why would I want to go to a low resolution hologram concert and sit in my house instead of being at a concert? That's not cool. People don't take photos of that, they don't talk about it at lunch the next day, they don't reminisce about that. Its divorced from people. I think that the "Metaverse" is actually on the right track somewhere but doesn't have the vision of a product to get it finished. I would love the Metaverse as some kind of "tabletop" simulator. My vision of the metaverse after Zuck's announcement was that it would be cool if I could play rpgs in there, where I can customize my avatar, and a gm can build a dungeon out. Let me do fantastical otherworldly things, not just try and save myself a 20 minute drive. That is where I think metaverse will win, unique experiences that I can only get in there. The problem is that the Metaverse is trying to see copies of real world experiences, but worse.
