Does anyone here work with super expensive "enterprise" VR/AR? My gut instinct is that they try to make something good, realize the tech to fulfill their dream is incredibly expensive, then pivot to "enterprise" to get more funding. Am I being cynical?

My last company tried really hard to pitch AR/VR projects. Using headsets, phones even the Bose sunglasses. It was a huge struggle to find anything compelling to do with AR even when it worked. We ended up selling a few nifty marketing experiences and artsy installations but they were like 30 second experiences and not useful for anything. The tech "works", it's just not very compelling.

Think about phone AR which works very smoothly and Apple/Google have been investing in hardware upgrades to enhance AR experiences yet it's been 5 years since Pokemon Go and no one has figured out another interesting thing to do with it.

Here example of enterprise Varjo XR3 (full version cost 6000$ plus 1500$ subscription) from someone only testing consumer VR headsets till now. In short: it's way better than best consumer headsets.

I know the tech is a lot better, but is it really being used in enterprise?
