Road to VR

Judging by sales volume on Amazon, Quest 2 & Quest 3 massively outsold PSVR 2 during the 2023 holiday season.

The Ghost Howls

It is not by chance that is Reality Labs working on it: the data collected from AR and VR headsets, and also from the Project Aria glasses, can be very precious to train these robots.
