    …Huh. Was this thing previously announced? I feel like this is the first I’m hearing of it.

    I have no idea what the state of the VR games industry is these days - from this non-participant, it feels like it might have peaked a couple of years ago, but maybe I’m just ignorant.

      You might be right. I just took a look at the sales, and last year did see a 12% drop. Apple’s Vision Pro is over priced and lacks software, and the Meta Quest 3 saw high initial sales but has dropped a lot since then.

      It is definitely a very niche product with a high price point that prevents it from making broader market appeal.

      But oddly, Meta is reporting increase in VR game revenue, so I guess games are still selling on its platform at the least.

      Honestly, I don’t think I’ve met more than 2 or 3 people in my life who even had a headset.

      In fact, whenever I see a VR headset in a TV show or film meant to depict the present day, it makes it abundantly clear that the writers are well off older people who are going to whine about the youth and are out of touch with how the majority of Americans live their life (or they’re being forced to make these choices by geezer executives that fit my description).

      It’s kind of similar to how the 1980s-2000s sitcom archetype of weird hyper best friend has been replaced by the “my whole personality is social media” archetype that is frequent in lower quality media these days.

        I agree, VR was trying to be the next smart phone hype, but they never panned out. There were too many unsolved problems with the tech.

        Can’t wait until it’s just AR build into my normal glasses frames, then it will be a big deal.

          They tried that with Google Glass and it flopped. They are trying it again with Meta Raybans

            I think this tech would take off as it’s not as isolating as vr is.

            I think we are just waiting on that tech to mature enough.
