AR is still very much a gimmick as we are surrounded by screens right now and we don’t need anything on our face to see them. They’re also easier on the eyes as headsets like AVP have a fixed focal plane.
VR on the other hand like the Quest, lots of people use everyday for games, exercise, media and socialization.
Unfortunately big tech thinks VR is for children, and keeps plowing money into AR because that’s what adults want. Meta’s best demos for AR was annotating prices on pieces of fruit.
Apple, Meta and now Google are like lemmings jumping one after the other off the AR cliff.
At least Meta made a decent headset. They could probably make some money off of if if the software was better and the store better curated, but they are way over extended on hardware people in AR lala land as their VR software just crawls along.
