Metaverse hype fizzles out as Korean tech giants pull plug

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I think what we will get out of all this virtual reality research is good augmented reality devices because being able to look at something and pull up information on that thing or instructions on how to use it, etc. would be damn useful. I think I've heard of companies using AR and VR for training purposes, like how to work machines in a factory, etc. before you actually start using them.
I see people buying $300 AR glasses as a portable monitor to watch porn comfortably while in bed.
Remote medical procedures, remote military weapons, remote repair of datellites, etc. will all benefit as well.
Do any of these applications really require AR / VR though?
Require? No.
Likely to be improved by more spacial awareness? Yes.
