I have yet to see any proof that the glasses style of VR is anywhere near being feasible. I have been an adopter of VR since 2014 when I bought the rift DK2 and the form factor is still practically the same, despite the costs being a lot higher for these new models.

I don't think your analogies work at all. I think VR is great for games, which is what occulus originally marketed it for, it's only since Facebook bought them that the direction has totally changed.



While it doesn't have a ton of power, the Vive Flow[0] seems like a great form factor. A few more years of miniaturization and advancements, you will probably see some much more capable VR headsets in a more glasses-like form. They weigh 1/4 that of the Quest Pro.

Meta Quest Pro form factor is a very significant decrease. Multiple AR/VR glasses such as Leap 2 and Spectacles work great, they just need a wider field of view.


We'll figure out how to interface with the optic nerve eventually.
