The first time I tried an Oculus Quest was mindblowing, it was a very unique and impressive experience. I wont go on about it but I encourage you to do the Oculus Quest demo app if you get the chance.

BUT then the excitement faded and I don't find myself wanting to return to VR much. Having something strapped to your face is awkward and tiring.

Tech companies can see the potential because it _is_ breathtaking but are also aware of the drawbacks and hurdles. Zuck decided it was a big enough thing to bet the farm on.

Its a potentially very powerful thing with some big issues that no-one knows how to fix. Hence the buzz and endless talking and companies jostling for position to be the leader without knowing quite where they want to lead us to.

One important issue with Oculus is that doesn't have AAA apps to consume, so at the end you only bought a device. I assume Apple knows well the apps strategy and there would be apps that leverage de device as it happened when they launched multitouch displays (remember: they were the firsts).

ADU metrics are hurt by Facebook’s execution of OS software updates and UX issues that make it a tedious dance. Many releases where create a situation where it is put into a drawer.
