These are huge numbers for VR: if you look at the most recent SteamVR survey, you get that Oculus headsets are now at 67% of the whole PCVR market. A report from Insider states that Microsoft may have canceled its plans for HoloLens 3. It’s basically a monopoly. But there is also bad news to talk about. Some updates on Meta products.

For instance, in the box I’ve found a cleaning cloth for an Oculus device… and I don’t think it actually comes with a Microsoft HoloLens! So, Microsoft has made whatever it could to make the limited FOV more acceptable and we have to appreciate that. The headset is very light and balanced (Image by Microsoft).

I had this fascination with the concept of a Holodeck and as I grew up that never sort of left me and when virtual reality became the thing with Oculus, I just saw this opportunity to actually build my own holodeck.
