We spoke about AR and VR for 2 hours and we were having so much fun that we could have gone on for other 2 hours without problems!

There’s not much money to be made in VR ads today. Facebook will eventually want XR revenue to be at least as profitable as their web and mobile ad-driven business is today. One VR developer who had originally signed up to include ads in their game reversed their decision due to the controversy. These moves were all expected.
