Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye

They pretty much have a monopoly on standalone VR headsets atm

Ah. I guess that’s why people were so excited about Valve making one. I’m not really that interested in VR, so I never really evaluated their vs the competition’s offerings.

Valve is still not making one that can do AR, so we’re still stuck with either Meta or Pico for that use case.

Not entirely true. They’ll have black and white cameras at launch and have an expansion port on the front of the device for potential color cameras in the future.
They just said AR isn’t their focus for this device, not that it isn’t possible.
And I get it - everyone I know that already has XR headsets doesn’t bother with AR as the experiences are limited (and I imagine the union between AR gamers and tidy environments with clear surfaces is pretty small).
