This is when Shark Tank OG Mark shared his opinion on the current state of VR technology,
"Go back to meta stuff on the VR goggles, like I'm actively involved. Like I created this thing for VR that works on vestibular problems that I had right... so... but anyways so I've actively involved in VR and meta all that kind of stuff what's missing is there is no daily application for VR/ There's no reason like you get all wild. It's like going to an amusement park. You know, hey I'm in space. Hey I'm on a roller coaster, hey in this world or that world but you only go to amusement park once maybe twice a year if you're hardcore. There's just no repetitive application for it except for some basic training applications in business.
"Yeah! It's just... it's a matter like all technology across all these years is just a simple question that needs to be answered. Is it the path of least resistance to accomplish something. That's it. It's a yes or no and so you know it's like those kids that wrote the software that did does the facial recognition they emailed me you talk about getting email. I've been going back and forth with them a lot and you know that's a privacy issue that has other concerns," he continues.
