I bought a Quest three years ago. It turned out to be not what I wanted so it sat unused. What I want: Super hires display over each eye that wraps to my peripheral vision and enough computer power to provide smooth hires graphics. Without those, the experience is sucky.<p>I realize the processing power I want can't be fit into a headset, so I'd be happy to be tethered to a high end desktop computer so I could explore virtual worlds. I get my exercise outdoors in nature. I don't want to be untethered playing beat saber like a teenager who drinks too many energy drinks.
I am very interested to see what Apple does in this space during WWDC. It might a flop or maybe it will be another iPhone moment (though I doubt AR/VR will have the same rise as the iPhone even though I'm bullish on the tech long-term).<p>Apple has a history of taking something tired a number of times before (sometimes even by themselves, hello Newton) and succeeding at bringing it to the masses but time will tell.
Is MetaVerse actually dead, or is it still lurking in the corner? If I'm not mistaken, the military still wants gamification of war, and MetaVerse provides just that (in addition to sometimes severe motion sickness).
