I work in the fintech space. A few years back we started on a skunkworks project to see if XR technology has a place in our world, specifically around data analysis, storytelling and insight gathering - more specifically, would it add value beyond doing what people already can do today on monitors and not just be a cool 'gimmick' (though I realised does hold some commercial value in the eyes of our marketing team).
After dozens of conferences, lots of client demos, and feedback I am convinced it has a place in our world and we have a much better idea of what and how. The question is when and, in some ways, the hardest to solve for.
We could not have done a lot of this without Meta headsets as they were cheap enough to start with and easy to develop on and iterate so personally thankful are taking this long-term bet as it is helping the whole sector. We did contact Meta to see if they wanted to partner in some way or support us as its mutually beneficial but got nowhere, might be case of finding the right person given the vastness of the org.
