This shyt could be free.... Nobody is wearing these big ass helmets for long periods of time. I don't know why that's so hard for people to understand
An electric car is different. Everyone listens to the bullshyt about them and swears they 400 miles from a charging station that'll take 50 mins to fill and it'll raise their electric by $300 a month if they do it at home.
If electric cars were free and there was a 3 minute charging station at every gas station, everyone would have them. If VR was free and you still had to wear helmets, they'd still be collecting dust. Ask me how I know
I disagree, I'm sure you feel that way because you have a headset lying around.
The fact that it isn't plug and play, and developers aren't placing an importance on it because of a stalled user base is more of a factor than the headset being heavy. It all goes back to cost.
The manufacturers would continue making updates, improvements, better models, etc if the consumer base justified it.
We have staples in our American culture/economy. Consoles being one of them, TVs being another, ICE cars too. The lack of disposable income prevents new technologies from latching on - they become flex toys for the upper middle class and higher but there's not enough of them to sustain or grow a market.
I could be wrong, but that's my opinion so far.
What new technology has become ubiquitous since the pandemic?
