I agree, in that I don't know what will happen but it will be big and glorious, and something will now happen - there's too many great minds and too much money in this now for it just to flub out quietly. In every OR announcement recently I see references to the SnowCrash Metaverse. Before we all start to rent shipping containers and become the 'greatest sword fighters in the world', I worry if this fictional ideal isn't a distraction to getting this done or not. Before we can buy OR consumer kits that work as well as the potential seems to hint at (and yes I have tried and was amazed by Crystal Cove) then it seems such a long and lofty goal. It feels like Physics 301 class entrants aiming for Warp capability or something. It would take something like a Facebook userbase and scale, the fathers of 3D game programming and a convergence of high definition mobile consumer electronics to all come together at one time for it to happen. Oh.
