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.
That may be true, but that doesn't excuse the half a dozen different abandoned efforts they've put into this space
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?
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.
The reason it won't be for me is the lack of multitasking / distractibility.
I can currently play a game, chat with friends, check email, browse random fediverse things, eat a burrito, and annoy my cat sort of all at once.
I can't really do that with VR as easily. And that's why I'll never be for it. I can't context switch as quickly.
