In a surprising move, Meta appears to be deprioritizing its VR business, including Oculus, to focus on the success of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. This shift in focus is likely driven by the current tech trend, where AI is gaining more traction than VR. The smart glasses, which have been a standout gadget in the AI space, may be the key to Meta’s future success. Meanwhile, Apple is also reportedly shifting its focus to a more affordable Vision headset, rather than a successor to the Vision Pro. This movement in the tech industry could have a significant impact on the future of VR and AR. In a recent podcast, experts discussed the implications of this shift, as well as other tech news, including a new universal remote, laptop processors, and developments in AI. The pivot to AI is likely driven by the grand ideas of industry leaders, such as Ilya Sutskever, who has a new AI company with ambitious plans for the future of AI.
