harumph. This tech is cool, but there's a worrying trend of important tech companies creating larger than life PR announcements without anything I can actually get my hands/eyes on
- kfarr 2y agoYes this is buying them time, not an actual product announcement but press treats it as though it were a consumer available product.
- aprilthird2021 2y agoWell, the announcement is necessary because Snap has a similar product that's out now, and ostensibly Google is making one also. Apple probably will be 2-3 years behind perfecting their version, as is their MO. It also invigorates current devs for Quest by showing them what their apps could run on in the future

So even stuff that was advertised as for consumers isn't safe from never actually happening
