Yep, I don't think we are going to ever see OR as originally kickstarted, not that the company cares about that anymore anyway. I've been keeping an eye on development and there has been basically nothing but setbacks in that regard. Its prototypes have scaling issues for widespread manufacturing particularly the screens, Facebooks 2 billion arrived shortly after this info was made public, and yet we haven't heard any progress. The motion sickness issue was voluntarily embargoed - from goodwill - among the tech community for ages, but now seems to be the systems Achilles heel, and FB turning the focus towards uses other than gaming seems to confirm that the idea of it as a gaming platform is basically dead.
Add to that the impending bubble burst - it's inevitable now with the outrageous investment sums being blown on unprofitable startups- and
this bizarre happening that
may be kosher but is strangely reminiscent of other weird investor behaviour prior to previous poppings, leads me to have zero faith in OR ever making the market.
And to be honest I'm glad, wearing a big heavy goggle on your face is the worst way of doing VR, thanks. Throw all that money into a holodeck, please
