5 years from now, Meta's investment in VR/AR will be looked as a a master move

The risks of AR/VR not working are too high, and Meta’s core business is getting destroyed by Apple. Building a massive business on the backs of hardware is soo hard - only really Apple and Tesla have done it. It has to be a product category that almost 100% of people need/want

I hope they succeed but they're fighting an uphill battle. - hardware is hard, Apple's entrance into AR/VR could be a big blow. - other's are better position to build stronger software (MS for enterprise, Epic for games) - they don't have the dev relationships they need.

def. but they still need to put in the work to be a part of the open, globalized metaverse that might come

I’ll take the under in that bet. I think Epic is going to eat them for lunch.

Good take. Meta had a monopoly on attention which they lost as social media matured. They’re getting ahead of the game now in VR/AR before the rest of the pack joins the race. But the idea of the metaverse will either die with them or blockchain/web3 will distance from it

I guess this is also an answer to @n's cast about the most used product per decade. Assuming desktops in 2000s, smart phones in 2010s, chances are it could be Oculus-ish devices in the 2020s. If 3G enabled Uber, then I guess 5G (or beyond) will enable a VR/AR platform/device.

Oculus is strong but I hope you are wrong. I don’t trust Zuck in the slightest with my data. Perhaps naive, but I’d like to see open source, decentralized solution win this battle.
