Could you also argue that most people "don't need" VR either? I'd even wager it's less convenient than a physical metaphor for computing like the smartphone.

- nomel 3y agoNobody needs an XR headset, but many don't need a computer if an XR headset, Chromebook, thin client, whatever, can cover their use case. The need is to complete whatever task. I read the comment as there being some fundamental limitation, a need, that will prevent people from moving to XR, and I would like to understand what that is. Perhaps I was being too charitable, and it's actually an opinion about others preferences, based on the first gen of a device that can replace a computer. But, you could call me "biased" (or maybe experienced) since I've been working in VR for a couple of years now. I see it as a very obvious transition, in computing, once headsets (including the vision pro) get lighter.
