Gaming is a huge market, and if you go in to any free to play game it's absolutely inundated with kids/preteens.

You can also roam using apps that let you do Google street view stuff in VR, create art, watch movies in a theater like experience alone or by yourself, and of course a lot of people use it for porn.

Even usual non-gamers love stuff like Walkabout Mini Golf or Star Wars Pinball.

Gaming is a huge market.

What portion of that market is VR?

That’s the issue I see. Gaming may be the best thing in VR, but VR hasn’t felt necessary to the average gamer at all. It’s still a small niche.

>It’s still a small niche

So what? Go play and enjoy.

>VR hasn’t felt necessary to the average gamer

Not even sure what that means. You come across as someone who likes to complain and never actually enjoy something. Good luck with that.

I miss the Google Cardboard I used to revisit places I traveled to, is there an app that really give access to Google Street View on the Quest 2?

Yep, there are. Wander is one, though I think there are others. You can even do it multiplayer, which is how my wife and I use it.

Ah, I heard about Wander before but when I looked into it I wasn't sure you could really see all the pictures from anywhere on Google Street View. Thanks!
