ByteDance, the China-based company that owns TikTok as well as one of the biggest overseas VR makers, Pico, is taking a long look at its VR headset business, finding that all those metaverse champions were way too “optimistic” in their estimation that virtual reality would take over the world.
How’s that whole metaverse thing going? Well, according to one top analyst’s sales expectations for the Quest 3 mixed reality headset, not as well as Meta might hope.
Watching the Meta Quest 3 being announced by Meta made me realize something – the hardware available for virtual, augmented and mixed reality is finally catching up with the big idea pitches everyone had about this concept called the “metaverse” a couple of years ago.
Meta’s been questing around for a new vision for its VR, and it’s finally arrived. At Meta’s 2023 Connect conference, the company introduced the Meta Quest 3, a mixed-reality VR headset.
By now, you've probably heard of the "metaverse." But despite all the hype, the metaverse might still be a little confusing. So, what is the metaverse? And what type of impact could it have on our everyday lives?
