    Their goal is to create phones with floating screens. At the point where quest 3 is, ignoring the weight and slightly janky hand controls I can see the vision and future technology could make that real, but I don’t think its good for society. VR games also will never be mainstream since they require movement. I love VR gaming a lot, but 99% of people will try it once and never again. Its inherently niche. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on vr gear though so I don’t really mind if all VR games are niche since I like the janky indie games.

      A lot (if not most) of vr games can be played seated though.

      Sure you might technically still be moving around but it’s easy enough on you that most people - even grandma, could play.

      So I don’t see that as a barrier to mainstream.

        Yeah but I personally don’t like seated vr games. If I’m playing a game seated I would rather play on a monitor where I can see the real world.
