VR is probably going to stay niche, at least until AR explodes…but AR absolutely will. Vision Pro showed what could be done to the masses, Google and others were working on the business side for years. It’s just a question of miniaturization and batteries, but I predict in 10 years AR will be exploding.
Yeah there’s nothing to do in VR. You can’t play normal games and the cool VR games you can play are not worth buying a new console. Besides that there’s no killer app, no 3D workspace environment that makes it worth it. The most worthwhile thing I’ve heard of is that if you’re a frequent flyer, it can be a nice private way to watch movies or sometimes do work.
It feels like there should be something game changing to do in VR but whatever it is no one has made the program yet.
I use my vr as my monitor everyday or to watch content. quite nice being able to have my screen follow me along when i go grab water from the kitchen.
also arbitrary screen configuration of arbitrary size and orientation.
The big drawback I find with using virtual monitors is that the PPD is too low on most headsets to clearly render the monitor.
Once they can figure out a way to get more micro-transactions in VR games, they’ll be all over that too, don’t worry.
Micro transactions rely on a massive market to increase chance of catching a whale. Are there even enough VR sold to make it a viable strategy? The only people I know who own a VR headset use it every other month.
