Motion sickness is a fundamental problem that doesn't have a fix.

But I disagree I think quest 2 was massive leap forward given it's price. It's resolution is ~2.7x that of original Oculus Rift and 120hz vs 90hz and it doubles down as standalone all at half the price of original Oculus rift.

From price/performance perspective with Quest 2 we got a device that gives us at least 6x better value.

Look at the GPUs in comparison.

A person who paid $200 for 1060 3Gb in 2016 paid same dollar for a unit of performance as a person buying $1200 4080 today or $850 3080 yesterday. Roughly same price/performance as 3060/3070 and even 3050. Only 3060 Ti offers somewhat better value for money but still not that much.

Their price/performance barely changed.

VR changed dramatically. Just not hype worthy.
