The glasses thing will not happen for a long time, the are just too many limitations with the form factor.

On the other hand, Bigscreen's HMD looks and feels way better than the toasters we're accustomed to strapping to our faces. For that alone, I considered switching from the Index.

What we can hope is that Apple will somewhat normalize VR gear usage and push it further mainstream. They're really good at this and the VR industry could use some more competition. Now, only if they wouldn't patent every screw in that thing...

This is Microsoft we're talking about.
It takes you their website where you can read 2 paragraphs of bullshit that will in no way clarify anything.

Sometimes a message is all you need.

I think they have some sort of long-term goal that we're not considering, and that's why they're so desperate to kill competition and channel users into an ecosystem controlled by reddit.

In 3rd party apps they can't control things like ads and "experience".
Perhaps reddit+ IS coming and the main draw they're setting up will be "ad free browsing" and "premium UI elements".

Still a brainless way of doing things, but it's reddit we're talking about...
