We've had 'VR' since easily the Riva TNT2 GPU with attachable LCD glasses. And every iteration has pretty much failed, no matter the advances in hardware. Jobs I imagine would've never done VR.

VR is older than that. My first experience was an Amiga-based system. I played a game called Dactyl Nightmare and I thought for sure this was going to be huge in a year or two. I check in on VR every few years and technically things keep getting better, but that first blocky experience was the most compelling. VR hasn’t failed, it’s just a niche thing. The VR market is here and it’s mature. Every day something like thirty or forty thousand headsets are sold. That’s great!
