I wouldn't say delusional. At the top of the decade it did seem like it was a plausible evolution as remote work became more popular, what with the pandemic and everything.

In Ready Player One, what made VR so ubiquitous was that the real world had gone to shit. Perhaps that is the true prerequisite for widespread VR adoption?

I got a quest 3 in the spring.

Putting it on for the first time was such a mind blowing experience. It is obviously the future, for about 1-2 months.

Before I tried one, I thought people might not like wearing the headset and that would be a problem. That for me is not a problem at all with the quest 3. It is super comfortable.

The VR experience itself just becomes uninteresting. It is the darnedest thing. That for me was with waiting over 30 years to try VR and the first week it completely delivered even beyond my expectations. Now I can't remember the last time I bothered to charge the headset. All in about 8 months time.
