This.

Lots of people are overlooking this part of Meta and they are quite far ahead with XR.

It's interesting that we are all waiting for the other shoe to drop in that Apple is forever "about to" release it's XR devices. Yet so far it hasn't happened. Apple is famous for waiting until quality hits a certain mark, but nonetheless, it tells me that what Oculus/Meta has achieved is more special than people think. This stuff is hard. It looks simple on the surface but watch any of John Carmack's talks and see how much complexity there is underlying it all.

I do think Meta is completely wasting its time with it's current approach of trying to re-invent Facebook inside the Metaverse. Hopefully they get past that sooner rather than later. But I have no doubt this is going to be an extremely important platform in the future and other than Apple if they ever show up, it's very hard to see anybody catching Meta.
