Random trivia; VR is so 90s 🤪 - this is a photo of an offer for a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFX1_Headgear for ~500USD in 1997. Apparently it was compatible with games like Mech Warrior 2 and did already feature stuff like head tracking for compatible games.

    Because technology advanced a tiny bit and it does make more sense.

    Even if it dies now, it will come back with even better hardware.

    Your statement sounds like, “why did they release the iPhone, there are already PDAs”

      It’s funny that you mention the iPhone - a device that had zero innovation compared to its competitors, and just managed to take the market because of marketing.
