I fully agree, but to think XR is not going to be the next computing platform is a little surprising. A little as I remember a lot of people saying they would never carry a computer around with them too.
Never get there? What would make you say that in the face of constant technological progress? It is for sure going to come and Meta and others already have light field display prototypes that they are trying to shrink down. Just a matter of time. VR/AR/MR are all going to be just one device and games will be as big a segment on it as they are on flat screens which is to say, only a smalll slice.
I don’t know deep diving, I just want a standalone VR gaming headset that isn’t owned by an invasive social-media corporation. Until I have something like that in my home, VR simply doesn’t exist yet for me.
Just like the segway was going to change the way we build cities?
Or how cryptocurrencies will replace national fiat money?
Or how google glasses have already become a mainstream reality?
Or how everyone will watch TV in 3D all the time?
Or how everyone will play games in VR?
Just because a technology is possible it does not mean it will become ubiquitous.

Vr is a fancy display tech for niche games. It’s at best another lane in the console war.
AR, actual ar with light fields is not feasible. The tech will never get there. It’s just too computionally expensive and the optics don’t pan out.

Hey, I still believe VR is gonna happen… someday… :'(
VR has already happened. Are you referring to “deep diving” or whatever word choice you want, where you don’t need to use controllers?

That device is coming in the coming years.
