Sounds like the consumer tech version of "$70k EVs aren't selling anymore!" It was extremely pricey and saturated the market, and from what I read most of the market was underwhelmed by its capabilities. I'm still waiting on my virtual workstation where I can have infinite virtual monitor space, instead we keep getting various whiz-bang gimmicks that are good for a demo but have no real use.

Apple is extending the monitor capabilities in their next software update, which at least to me is a good sign that they plan to keep expanding support for that mode. I'm in the same camp as you – my main objective for a headset would be infinite portable monitor space. I really hope we get there in the next few years.

> I'm still waiting on my virtual workstation where I can have infinite virtual monitor space This is it. Right now my work has to shrink down to fit on four monitors. Virtual desktops can help, but only so much. When I'm trying to puzzle something out over 20 windows--source code files, git history, documentation for two or three libraries, Wikipedia, Slack, StackOverflow, I spend a non-trivial amount of time just keeping all that organized and switching between things. What I want is a room where I can spread out. And I need it for $1500 or less.

Sounds like the consumer tech version of "$70k EVs aren't selling anymore!" Misinformation. The good EVs are selling quite well. It's just that their price has effectively dropped quite a lot. My wife's Model Y which cost us nearly $80k (we bought at peak price: the prior Corolla got totalled) now has the equivalent 2024 model selling for $42k! The crappy EVs (ie most everyone else's) aren't selling, because they are inferior in efficiency and software implementation. Rivian and Lucid vehicles are pretty good, but those companies are still at risk of never showing a profit. I've been in a Hyundai Ionic 5, and that seemed decent too.
