I tried the new PS5 VR2. It’s definitely better than Oculus Quest. Makes you wonder what Facebook has been doing with all those billions spent on VR when Sony is able to produce a better product with a fraction of the investment.

Not surprising really. Cultural problem. Sony = decades of experience on gaming hardware and games (and everything else) Meta = decades of experience running a/b tests on a website and copying features to sell ads (and acquiring few mobile apps to run more a/b tests)

Looks like they are making reactionary cuts to what may not be a good Q1.....
When will they acknowledge that the Metaverse sucks and that Zuckerberg needs to go?

Unlike Facebook, Sony is a hardware company that basically makes everything. If Sony wants to spit out the best VR headset they can just call up their display division, camera division, sensors division, design division and put into a single device the bleeding edge and expertise of each one of them. Facebook on the other hand is left to toy with less stellar and more commercial offerings and does not have the histor…
I'm not sure what your point is when the PS VR2's optics are not as good as Facebook's. The PS VR2 while OLED suffers from mura and brightness issues. The amount of mura is inconsistent and can be pretty bad on some headsets. Since the panels can not get bright enough Sony is leaving the displays on longer which trades off increased brightness for more motion blur. The display is also using a pentile subpixel arrangement which is not as good as compared to a RGB stripe one. The peak pixels per degree of the optics is less than all competing devices on the market and is releasing with Fresnel optics in 2023. The PS VR2 doesn't stand out as being bleeding edge to me, unless by bleeding edge you mean the technology isn't mature enough to be ready yet to meet consumer exceptions. It just looks to be marketed as a better and updated version of the PS VR headset. No other headset is competing in the segment of the market that is powered by consoles.

A lot more computing horsepower by being tethered, really. A standalone unit naturally can't have the same kind of graphical fidelity than something tethered to a full-powered current-gen console. I think there are two strategic errors worth considering here: - wireless vs. tethered. Was it really worth it going wireless or was there viability in being tethered? - the hype around PSVR2 is around the Horizon game, whi…
Tethered to what? Sony has a much better answer to that question than Meta.

Meta hired people that specifically had experience in hardware, wearables, and games for this big bet. Sure, you can say that maybe Meta's infrastructure is in it's infancy in this field, but so is everyone else's because, quite literally, Meta was the only (big) player in this field in the first place.
I wonder what effects this uncertainty will have on an organizational system. With multiple rounds of layoffs, talks of 'flattening', projects being cancelled, internal transfers being frozen, hiring being frozen, when does an organization finally become 'healthy' again? When are the right people in the right places making the right decisions again? Does an organization that has so much capital need to even care abou…
I've noticed more uncertainty, less comradery, a general malaise, lack of motivation and a lot less trust in the organization. A very very different feeling to a year ago.
