I'm def looking forward to proper AR, but everything you said could and does apply to VR. If they shrink it (which they're working on) you can already work within VR screens, watch movies, etc. To be honest, I see more use for VR than AR. We'll see what the future holds, but I don't see people shelling out $1k like they do with phones just so they can see their notifications floating in mid air. I'll probably eat those words, though.

VR is def not going to be for everyone, just like consoles or PCs aren't for everyone, or games in general. And while I can say that I'm having a blast with it, that doesn't really mean much. I think a better argument is that Facebook did see the potential in all their boardroom meetings looking at data that they decided to shift their entire business to VR. You can point to their failure, but I think that's more to do with overhyping the metaverse than VR itself. Because, yeah, the metaverse is absolute garbage.
