You're on the right track. Nix the kiddie crap and focus on a truly compelling experience. And it has to play well with others. Yes, games are a driver, but people are just as happy to use their steam deck or handset to interact with an MMO. It's all pretty straight-forward. VR, AI, crypto are all floating point-bound, which means WebGPU is the common thread, so anything happening that's worth a damn is Web-based. Spatial search and generative AI are the killer apps in this space. The other thing to consider is engagement. They can't possibly expect people to spend hours glued to thier HMD. Sometimes I just want to check something quickly and move on. The Ray Bans are cool, but they're nowhere near a fully immersive MR experience with that route. You're not even supposed to use your headset outside per the instructions on the box. It's a joke. They need the cheap gas station sunglasses version for mobile, like Google Cardboard. The technology is there, they just need to pick the right stuff to work on.
