I absolutely agree that AR/VR are still in their infancy. And every effort at further developing the technology is fantastic, if we want it to become widely adopted. Unfortunately I don't see multi-thousand-dollar headsets becoming mainstream.
Yeah I'll agree there. And I think that's presently a function of how immature the tech is and how expensive it is to make anything that feels like it's even approaching what a mature product could be.
If they can solve for this stuff and then get the price down on the tech, things will change a lot and this stuff definitely will not be a novelty. Home desktop computers were a novelty and quite expensive when they came out too but over time that's changed.
I just don't think the comparison to something like 3D TV is fair in this case.
