I’ll believe Mark when it happens. In 2017 he also said he’d ship a billion oculuses; I think they sell maybe 3M a year.

My 2c; I did see their remote work demo and thought it was kind of cool, although (anecdotally) coding in a virtual screen tends to give me headaches. But until the headsets arent heavy, expensive, and silly-looking or require goofy paddles I do not think the VR metaverse will be gaining any mass traction.

Personally I have found current VR is fun for some games and tedious for everything else. The wow factor of a large expensive facial protrusion with a screen and gyro was gone by the time Oculus was acquired. What followed was a lowering of price, allowing for 4-5x more users per year to be disappointed. And Facebook has more or less failed at all their hw offerings thus far despite much PR, right? I dont see that changing. They should stick to monetizing your information IMO, they’ve been able to make that highly efficient and it doesn’t cost $800 for the end user or leave large imprints on their faces.
