What do you mean “even”? I would say especially apple couldn’t make VR mainstream.
But VR is already mainstream to a certain demographic; furries. They try to get VR headsets even when they’re broke, because they want to escape reality as much as possible, and pretend like they’re the actual character they like to imagine themselves as. And it’s better than any fursuits can.
You want to make a successful VR headset, then you’ll have to make and market it for those that want to live (and do virtual sex) in VR. Not as some weird, incredibly expensive office tool.
Furries have long since stopped being a small, niche, minority corner of the Internet. You can literally measure the success of a platform these days by how many furries are actively using it.
I didn’t realize that VR was big in the furry community, but it makes sense.
Do they have a specific app/community? Things like VRchat I can’t imagine being very well suited to furries, since you’d have random people coming in yelling slurs/bigoted shit.
I’ve always been tangentially fascinated with the furry community, while not one myself. Always seemed like an interesting, weird group, which as someone a part of other weird groups…you go furries.
VRChat is the most popular thing that furries use. If you have random people popping in, you’re in an open, public world. But in VRC you also have the ability to open private worlds or extended friend worlds.
Im not a furry but I see a lot of furries on VRChat. Most non bigots on vrchat play in friends+ worlds because there aren’t trolls if they have to know someone to get in.

Even if your echo chamber has like a million people, they’re still just a tiny portion of worldwide population.
Not a good argument when a majority often doesn’t consider the entire world’s population.
it’s also a bad vr headset. it’s an augmented reality headset that does vr secondarily. and surprisingly uncomfortable.
