I'm hardly motivated to put on my Vive these days. It's cumbersome, heavy, awkward, both hardware & software. Finally got done turning everything on & slipping on controllers, VR & audio headsets? Oops, SteamVR is acting up, now I have to take everything off to troubleshoot

Exactly, I'm in the same boat. I had visitors one day and they saw the Lighthouse emitters in my living room. They had no idea it was for VR and gave me strange looks. The thing is just too complex, too bulky, too unreliable, too many wires, driver issues, and it looks silly.

Few want to basically wear a ski mask on their faces for fun. It's anti-collaborative, anti-social, and looks and feels dumb and isolating. VR development, especially multiplayer, is painful at best. AR I can see a bright future for, because I already wear glasses. VR - no.

The tech industry is very fashion driven. VR was the prevailing fashion from '15-'17 or so. The insiders have already cashed in and now the hype and money trains are running out of steam.

I'm just calling things as I see them. It's not making money.
