I'm with you on this. I was an original backer of the Oculus on Kickstarter, and it's just mindblowing to see how far it's come to the Quest 2.
And while the original Oculus shows you what promise there is from a hacker in the garage, the Quest 2 shows you what can be done when significant capital is invested in development.
I bought a Quest for my little brother across the country, and hanging out in VR is pretty cool. I can definitely believe there's something here. I don't know if Meta will actually end up being the platform in the future, but I certainly think there will be a platform, it will be good in a lot of ways, and because of this frankly audacious move by Meta we'll be getting there sooner.
