VR is amazing and there is clearly a future in it... despite the growing pains it has had. I don't like Zuckerberg or Facebook, but I am happy to see anyone throw money at VR.

VR has long ways to go. i imagine people are more interested in holograms than putting on a headset for hours.

if we can revolutionize hologram in our times…

A long way to go, sure. It has also come a long way in a very short amount of time, and the rate of progress is increasing.

Thing is, facebook isnt doing VR well. Theyre copying secondlife's business model and pretending its new, theyre creating unwanted walled gardens in an open space, theyre shoehorning tracking and forcing logins, and thats just off the too of my head.

VR has a future, facebooks practices do not.

They've somehow dumped 5x Boeing's R&D budget into this project in the past couple years and still made an end result that appears worse in both UX and graphical quality than a small independent developer made in half the time with 1/100th the budget. The entire thing is mismanaged and DoA.

For this tech to be adapted they need to get vr into a pair of glasses. These goggles and cartoon characters are a joke. They went to market too soon.

99% of the growing pains are still ahead of it.

You should be concerned that Meta is going to fail so spectacularly that VR becomes an unspeakable word in tech for another 20 years. Trying to force it on the public is going to set it back.
