And Apple will lose billions on it as well. Because they haven't solved VR problems. Nobody wants to wear the stupid things on their faces.

Best application for VR is gaming. Zuck seems to thing they belong on in the workplace. Apple seems to think they're going to be laptop replacements.

VR isn't going to happen.

You are being downvoted but I think you have a very valid point. It’s not like VR isn’t going to happen though, it just not going mainstream, not at least until technology advances enough to make the whole VR hardware as inconspicuous as a smartphone or smartwatch. And we are decades away from that happening.

The biggest problem (in my opinion) is that they're trying to cram too much processing into the headset instead of offloading it into some other processor and remote streaming the video feed and just having the inside out tracking done in the headset.
