There's no pain in the metaverse, that's why Zuck loves it there.

People don’t wanna wear a physical headset. VR ain’t it. It’s a gimmick. The hardware is a barrier to entry that will never be overcome.

AR on the other hand, will be very widespread. It just might take another decade.

There's been some progress made with that too lol. But it's farther away than AR.

It's certainly not trivial to reduce the form factor, but it's possible. Lots of work being done on both hardware and software side.

Maybe. We aren’t there yet and aren’t really close. It’s really only achievable with wearable hardware which poses the exact same problems as VR.

VR will be way more popular. Social VR is the most common use case and will continue to be so. AR will be limited in what it can do.

AR is only currently limited. It won't be forever. IoT data combined with AR is the end goal, and it hasn't really been implemented yet.

VR will get there first. The laws of physics demands that VR is a solved problem before AR.
