I love that

They're building their own games, their own software stack, building on premium hardware from others... but then opening high-end retail locations so people can access them2 replies 2 retweets 25 likesShow this thread -
As I discuss in the a16z announcement blog post, the technology for film had to be invented in the late 1800s, but then movie theaters didn't start until decades later, and then the hollywood content creation ecosystem didn't land until 1920. We need this journey for VR too

I believe in VR. There is no medium with more creative and cultural potential, as it's fully immersive. It could surpass film, television, and gaming in across many dimensions - but it needs to figure out the triumvirate of technology, distribution, and content
