Personally I think the next step may be streaming content from a PC to an untethered device (untethered in terms of cables at least).

Don't we already have that? The Quest 2 could manage it, although I think people have more luck with a third party app (Virtual Desktop maybe?) doing it rather than the official software.

It does need a good Wifi 6 router though, as it's heavy on bandwidth.

Personally, I think VR needs to be able to have an HDMI input (or get rolled into the HDMI standard so controllers/head locations can be passed back through it), so people can at least use it as a large screen for non VR software, e.g. watching movies or just playing regular 2D games from any source.

What's really holding VR back is every company wants to be the king of VR, and none of them can be.

Streaming feels like the way to go, I already have a computer so all I'd really want out of a headset is the interface part, it doesn't need to be a self contained unit. And It'd be way easier to get into VR if the headsets were priced more like a monitor than a whole PC.

I have no problem streaming from my desktop to my Quest with a WiFi 5 router
