   @thomasfuchs Honestly I think they'd be less niche if they were more affordable. Look at furry VR-social stuff.

   Of course, furries aren't mainstream and non-queer humans might have much less use for the tech.

     @thomasfuchs Lots of markets are shrinking after their heights during the pandemic.

     I always feel the need to throw water on both pro- and anti-VR people by reminding them that VR is a subset of MR, which is tremendously applicable, given we've been doing it for decades (think GPS units in cars).

     Like, I can point to plenty of real-world applications of VR that exist _right now_, and I can also point to things that are needlessly VR-ified.

     In the end, reality, as always, sits in the middle.

     @thomasfuchs
     In the demo where you're video calling with people, what do they see of you? What if they were in headsets, what would you see of them?

     Something not well thought out.
