Is it really that successful? I think the wildest dream is that everyone is using it but I don’t really see it happening anytime soon in the future.

I meant success in the technical sense - they managed to get the tech as good as it could realistically get - and cheap too.

But it turned out nobody cared. People who envisioned doctors using VR glasses to look at MR images in 3D, architects, modelers, mechanical engineers, who people thought would use 3D to do work turned out to not want it.

Immersive games were created, that looked and ran amazing, and afforded a never-before-seen level of interactivity, but after a few standout successes, people just moved on.

It's like Apple got to about the iPhone 4 level (where most people would agree the experience was decent), then everybody decided to go back to their old Nokias.
