For 3D content, 8K 180° videos almost match Quest 3's display but 360° videos would still be far below.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

This means that the YouTube update could be experimental, as new headsets are due this year from various vendors; Google may be testing 8K to prep themselves for 8K streaming on devices from Meta and others.

In my article about the craziest XR devices out there , I mentioned Ekto VR , the shoes that let you walk in real life to walk in virtual reality.
