There are certainly some headwinds for VR, even given the massive success of the Quest 2. I am very optimistic about AR/VR tech in the long term, but pretty mild on it in the short term. I think immersive computing and 3D displays are clearly in the mainstream future. When the tech works, it is just too good. I’ve stood on the surface of Mars, floated through the ISS and flown over Antarctica.
But these devices need to be as comfortable and seamless as a pair of glasses. They need to be able to seamlessly switch between augmented and immersive mode, and they need to be able to let you VR call with someone’s photorealistic avatar on the happy side of the uncanny valley. I don’t think we’ll be there any time soon.
