They got really mad if you actually called it a VR headset though. It was a "spatial computer" lol

What do you mean "remember"? Didn't the Apple VR headset launch only a year or two ago?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 33 minutes ago

OMG, I completely forgot about that thing.

AR/VR is actually cool, but it’s just incredibly niche, for the foreseeable future, for so many reasons.

My biggest problem is that I have to either order contacts or order special lenses just to use it. Trying to wear glasses in VR is very cumbersome and annoying, plus you risk scratching the lenses. They need to find a way to make the headset smaller and easier to wear, and have it automatically adjust to your vision as well (which will never happen until they gry rid of that pointless law that requires you to see an overpriced doctor every year to get a prescription.)

And the "metaverse" was going to be a thing

[–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

was that before AI and bitcoins were "inevitable"?

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think that was between bitcoins and NFTs

The future is blockchain! Until it wasn't.

And web 3! Or was it web 2.0?

Hey the Newton ruled.

It was just too far ahead of the hardware.
