A mistake so big they made it twice. It's amazing how you can throw like, infinite money at VR with the expectation that consumers will just wear these things on their faces all day long and still fail.

Valve has and will continue to succeed because they operate on the only genre suitable for VR: gaming.

And porn, but mostly gaming.

    Does Steam really succeed with VR though? I don’t know anyone with a VR headset and I know a lot of people who use Steam.

    HI! HTC Vive OG owner here since 2018/19, over 100 VR titles, I know quite a few others with different headsets from Index to Meta to pico, also know at least 3 looking forward to Steam Frame. Tho it is still too niche and these stupid memory prices are going to hurt us bad. Under windows steamVR is great, under linux steamVR is good and getting better all the time, in the meantime there is WLX-Overlay.

    I wish I spent more when I did... I bought the oculus rift, then some shit company bought it and tried to claim the hardware wasn't mine, and tried to extort money from me. it sits on the floor doing nothing now. a reminder that corpos are never to be trusted

    Avp isn't a consumer product. It's going to be for enterprise work.

    No, replacing your laptop, monitors and desk space at work. The price point makes a lot more sense. And so does the hardware inside.

    It has a high angular resolution compared to some other HMDs, but it's still not competitive with the angular resolution of traditional monitors.

    HMDs in 2026, even at the upper end of the price range, aren't there yet as superseding monitors.

    Key point is yet.

    Interesting article! I'm not at all up to speed on the hardware specs vs the meta quest so I'm not sure how that translates.

    Don't get me wrong


    I'd like to have a "monitor replacement HMD" myself, and it's one reason that I've been watching the area. When things here there, I will probably get an HMD myself. And I think that there will come a day


    unless some sort of brain-interface thing gets there first


    where HMDs wind up at a monitor level. It's just that in 2026, the hardware is still pretty limited for that application.
