I think VR is a symptom that we're both running out of fertile tech to mine, and the population at large is tired of it.
In order to make a compelling experience the tech is Very Expensive...and what it really is is a funky monitor and funky mouse.
Well monitors are a couple hundred bucks and a mouse is $50.
And even when it _is_ affordable, it's just not 'sticky' (yes, I know, poor choice of words)
I've used 'em since the Vive and some of the experiences are outstanding....and yet they end up collecting dust for weeks at a time. I use it, it's great, I enjoy it...and then it goes back to collecting dust.
And I'm pretty sure the cheap, sunglasses, 4x better display of the future would be the same.
- anakaine 2y agoGot to agree here. Outside a very small number of cases beyond the honeymoon period with VR, it's just not something that I'm interested in wearing. The AVP looks like a fantastic device, bit sitting in my own world of isolation with a screen on my face does not sit well as an every day interaction. Not even every week or month these days. I suspect AR will be similar for your average consumer. Info overload is also real. If it's built into a car, or something else it then has a function and is good.
- LordKeren 2y agoI think this is approaching the end of what this VR form factor can produce. Compact pass through glasses + Dramatically improved “AI” assistants is almost certainly going to be the end goal for what these technologies look like. Google glass may have been on the right course all along
