Well I do want this, augmented/virtual reality is exactly the kind of shit I dreamt about as a kid during the 90's, and having a huge screen available anywhere I go is pretty fucking cool.
But yeah, I used a VR headset exactly once for like 5 minutes, and there's no way in hell I'd buy one from meta or apple. If Valve releases good XR/AR glasses I might consider it.
I love VR and have multiple devices but the platforms are still really bad. There's so much jank amplified by all of the greed by Apple and Meta. For example on Apple's VR device you can't have multiple users - they were so greedy that they thought they'd sell multiple devices per household.
Can't wait for Valves Deckard or whatever next VR project they're working on. Steamdeck is everything a handheld should be and if they can finally nail that in VR it would be awesome.
It sounds cool in theory, but modern tech companies aren't going to make what you wanted as a kid. Whatever they make will be heavily enshittified.
Hold on a second. For it to be enshittified, it has to be good at the beginning, and I highly doubt that’s possible.
Honestly in five minutes you didn't do basically anything in VR
I know, I meant that although I'm interested in the tech I've barely tried it.
