I was thinking more about some compelling application. The current generation of headsets is pretty neat.

In the current form factor, I just can't see it moving beyond a gaming peripheral anytime soon and the market for that is limited. I was excited when Facebook got into this because appealing to everybody is what they do. But there's been nothing.

I'm starting to think VR is a dead end. There is a market for it, but maybe it's not very big.
