Arrives in 2022, with glasses to follow sometime before 2025). When I worked at Microsoft I got in trouble with the lawyers over patents so they made me sleep with a lawyer (true story, that was my punishment). If you haven’t seen a Microsoft Hololens or a Magic Leap you probably have no clue about how amazing this will be.

The Oculus Quest 2 is selling incredibly well because it offers the right combination of affordable price, good hardware, and a good software ecosystem. Not to mention the millions spent on marketing , especially in the US (Oculus was one of the sponsors of NBA, for instance). The Quest will still be the king.

One of the things that was demoed there, there was a presentation from Microsoft about the new Hololens 2. Microsoft with their Hololens 2, they’ve actually moved their Hololens from the devices division of the company to Azure, which is their cloud computing. And I see that right now, Oculus is filling that void.

And so if you follow the money and you follow the technology, what it leads to is-- I would have said that we were going to go completely phone-to-face in, say, 2025 to 2027. Oculus came up with a $300 VR headset that rivals anything in the market. And probably mass adoption of that will start in kind of 2023 and progressed to 2025.

I was looking at 2025 for ubiquitous AR glasses. Alan: With Facebook now working on AR, and you've got Magic Leap, and Microsoft's Hololens. And I know Oculus Quest just introduced hand tracking. And I think what Oculus did and launched that as a feature proves that it's important, and that everyone else now wants it too.
