This is why VR and "google glass" didn't take off. You have apple watches and third-party knock-offs taking up that tech nice because it's a watch, "fitbit" and a pager combined which makes google glass irrelevant AND you don't have to wear a bulky pile of tech turd on your face like you would for VR.

I will not wear ze glasses and gesticulate wildly into nothingness in private or in public.
VR will always fail except for gooning purposes

>>107877608
How the fuck do you think VR was supposed to replace phones? This is by far the most retarded thing I heard today.

I use my headset all the time for simracing and sometimes playing other games. It's absolutely useless for anything else, but it makes playing games funner.

VR was a flash in the pan gimmick with incredibly low resolution compared with existing screens (4k in VR is sub 720p real world), and the controllers sucked. The one field it might've been useful for, sim dads, all have a better time with triples.

I love gimmicks, VR sadly adds absolutely nothing to gaming. When it's AR goggles with 60 PPD displays that can be transparent so google can insert ads on every flat surface, they'll take off. Until then? It's just for retards.

why is Zuck still in charge when he wasted like 50b on the metaverse bullshit and everyone knew it was vapor trash?

Because it's his money and the shareholders aren't going to oust him for always chasing the next big thing. It's too bad nobody wants to use a single thing that comes out of them. The Meta / Facebook brand is completely tainted.

I don't know anything about meta's dumb VR projects but from a gaming standpoint, almost every VR game I've seen looks less like a game and more like a tech demo for a "real" game.
The only VR games I'd ever want to play are
>HL Alyx
>H3VR
>Boneworks
>Bonelab
>VR Chat
and even then I don't want to drop the money on a VR setup, I don't have a spare room I can set aside exclusively for an expensive toy, and I don't know if VR would give me motion sickness or not.
It's just too many factors going against VR for me

>>107877861
Boneworks and its sequel are both awful and massive motion sickness inducers. Alyx and H3 are fun, but we're talking about a 6 hour easy game for kids and a tech demo mess that you can squeak a bit of fun out of in between manually reloading your magazines.

But given you listed VR chat as something you want to play, you should probably buy VR. It's very big with troons like yourself, second life for zoomers has a lot of appeal if you're mentally unwell.

>>107877608
Too expensive and the only good VR games are ones that have been ported to VR pretty much (Resident Evil, Half Life). It's like owning a PS5 but except the people living downstairs hate you. It needs more time and more good developers. It will get there eventually it just isn't worth it for most people

No killer app
