    We can pile on Google for all their issues, But I’m not sure AR/VR is going to the next big thing.

    AR/VR is a thing, and it will be bigger as the technology improves, but I think Google, Meta, Sony, Microsoft and Apple are looking for the next multi-billion dollars blowout tech, but it’s not clear if that’s gonna be AR/VR.

      next multi-billion dollars blowout tech

      From what I can see, other than building a slightly better mouse trap, there’s not much on the horizon. AR/VR is only just kinda cool and AI hype is starting to fizzle. What’s left?

      That may be true, but that doesn’t excuse the half a dozen different abandoned efforts they’ve put into this space

      The standalone VR units feel like something that can be a longer term product niche. That said I sure as hell can’t buy one made by Meta. 😵‍💫 I miss Daydream VR.
