Well, there's still no killer app. The productivity use case is a gimmick. Apple vision pro is also not selling well. The big promise is entertainment but it's not there yet.

I wonder if there simply is no killer app using the current approach. Maybe we will have to hook into the brain.

Half Life Alyx was an amazing VR game. It was the only amazing VR game.

Everything else has been OK.

I don't know - the Star Wars game on Quest was amazing from an immersion point of view.

And beat saber is a surprisingly fun way to do some cardio.

I do like beat saber. And I liked Star Wars and Superhot.

They’re good. They aren’t killer.

It would be an anti-climax for the history books if it turns out we invented a device right out of sci-fi, but it's actually kind of meh.

We really didn’t though. We’re nowhere close to the dream of VR.
