I feel like VR is late to the lockdown party and people just aren’t interested. FaceTime is great because anyone with an iPhone can do it. I need to buy a $3k headset and my mom needs one too? Uh I’d rather just go visit in person.
I have an oculus, don’t use it (sometimes the kids do but they mostly play PlayStation or PC games). I really don’t see the killer app to make VR mainstream. I use AR on my phone once every few years to pick out furniture, but my phone seems to do a good enough job at this.
Gaming seems to be the only real use I would have for this, and I would probably go for the $599 or whatever PSVR if I wanted an upgraded oculus… which I don’t.

VR doesn’t feel like your talking face to face either though, it feels like you are in a video game lobby.
