The killer app/need is the key. I never ‘got’ the VR thing. Not as a consumer item, professional space yes consumer no. Very much like smart watches, outside of fitness, I can’t see the point. And the market seems to agree, the smart watch world has been quiet for a while.
One of the bigger AR companies closed it doors to last week, can’t recall its name, they was on twit about two years ago with a polished working unit, but with closed source and high costs, it never took off as a product.
I can’t see oculus shutting down, I think Facebook own them, but I can see them eventually closing the consumer side down. Medical and space industry would be a fit, to mature the product.
That is unless that killer feature turns up. Then I’ll be first in line.
