> 4. There is probably a ton of R&D for things that haven't seen the light of day. For all of the lampooning of Meta, VR isn't their endgame. Other justifications for the effort are to build a platform that's not owned by Google or Apple, plus the "ultimate" goal of wearable AR devices. The latter requires substantial innovation in terms of battery life, compute power, heat management, display, input schemes, the vast amount of world 3d mapping required, enabling AR content creation & consumption, etc, etc, etc. There are literally thousands of people working on this and there are some truly impressive things being designed and built there. What we'll be able to see in the world are the elements of these and/or proof points that get baked into the "intermediate" stuff being released, like Oculus w/improved mixed-reality, and wearable devices.
