100% agreed. The pieces are there, someone needs to put them together. It's VR in 2009.
VR may be the next 3D TV. It's been around for a while, but it's a niche product. Hassle of using it outweighs the benefits.

I still think a robotics company for the masses is something waiting for a billionare to indulge in. Its 2017 and where is my "Rosie the maid" from jetsons? It should be here by now. I hate doing house chores.
Consumer Reports says the Samsung Powerbot robot vacuum is finally good enough to be useful. The Dyson robot vacuum is almost as good, they report. Previous robot vacuums were just too weak at vacuuming to do a good job.

You're right that it's a niche product at this point, but it's very different from 3D TV. Tesla cars are niche products too.
Tesla is in a small-volume, premium segment of a proven commodity, whereas VR is still niche. (Though, Google Cardboard proves it needn't be premium-only!)
This is the first paragraph that shows up when seeing the site in mobile safari: > I know people are going to ask me a lot of questions about why I started this company.

And to be honest I still do ask myself that sometimes…but not too often. 1. Maybe I'm not geeky enough, but I don't know who…
> I don't know who you are You might not know that he created Android, but surely you must know that he created the sidekick?? Jokes aside, if you don't know who he is you probably don't need a smartphone.
Do you know who Nils Bohlin was? If not, I guess you don't need three point seat belts in your car. Maybe I'm being facetious, but this seems to me about as on point as your comment – which is to say not at all.
Of course I can enjoy the benefits of a smartphone, even need them, regardless of whether or not I know who someone is.

Yes, but the big difference this time around is that it's the same Windows as on the desktop with the ability to run desktop software. You get mobile plus desktop on the one device which is something Microsoft's better positioned to deliver on than either Google or Apple. And because of that Microsoft will finally start succeeding on mobile.
> And because of that Microsoft will finally start succeeding on mobile. Has been said so many times before.
I've heard this joke before, but go on..
