     @helava @arstechnica There is demand for Apple Vision Pro, but only from very niche industries (hospitals 🏥 seem to love them, but that really is about it).

     I think Google Glass had a greater impact honestly (even if it was mostly negative).

     @arstechnica that’s great… but there’s no demand for VR headsets. No commercial demand, little industrial demand. There just aren’t many use cases where VR is actually good.

     So cool, more headset manufacturers… but also, good luck to them trying to find an audience that doesn’t exist.

     VR has to fix locomotion, nausea, and comfort problems first.
