MODERATORS
I just think it’s stupid for anyone to jump into this product space at this time unless they have something novel to add. I doubt this will be the case with an announcement that makes it already feel like a “me too” product.
We don’t even know if Apple is going to have success with their product, and already here come the competitors with “announcements”. Google already failed with Glass. Microsoft has also had no success with AR/VR outside of small military experiments.
But by all means, let’s get excited by a Google (who cancel everything) and Samsung (who copy everything) press release.
I don't have the numbers but i'm pretty sure the WMR platform is fairly common in consumer VR headsets?
You're probably thinking of the hololens which is much more focused on professional applications.
Not sure how you spun this to me getting excited for google but ok, guess brand loyalists like to see the world in black and white.
