Try it yourself. Strap something 8 hours or longer around your head, don't move, because every small tremor distorts the vision of the device.
VR in its current form is eye cocaine, nothing more. Why watch poppy avatars hop around in a virtual reality, while you are bound to do nothing?
In every way, VR should be restricted to very few use cases, not to - hello Zuck - rebuild reality completely and hereby track everything you do or see to deliver even more addictive material to your eye vision.
It sounds cool, some use cases look cool, but the very fact that hardly anyone at Meta uses their own device/creature, speaks volumes. I am glad, JC takes consequences and abandons this experiment.
Don't move? Have you ever played Superhot VR or Beat Sabre or Pistol Whip or... etc.? You're jumping around all over the place for some VR games and it's extremely fun and the experience can't be reproduced on a monitor.
I only use Abe for fitness apps about 1 hour a day and frankly the weight isn’t a problem for that period of time with intense movements.
In fact I think the other use cases are bogus, everything else is unimpressive to me except the ability to have a decent fitness experience with FitXR or Beatsaber.
