Next try in 35 years? The future of VR is as bright, as it has always been and always will be.

A lot of problems have been solved since 1989, but I see its future in military applications. The rest of the world does not have the problems that VR helmets solve.

When living in ever-smaller homes with minimal personal space and accelerating urban decay outside, with decreasing access to transport to escape the cities, escaping to virtual spaces is likely to become more desirable.

That's just not gonna be the tipping point for enough people to drop their glorious 86" QNED/QLED TVs and their 32" 4k @ 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors, which can be had for less than the price of an AVP, certainly not in time to save it.
