    If Apple released a product with the same form factor, it would likely be a winner. The issue with Meta is that its brand is tarnished for anyone older than Gen Alpha. I don’t have hard data, but I am guessing the majority of VR users are children under their parents’ meta accounts.

    I’m still buying this for myself. I enjoy the private movie theater experience and turning every video game session into a decent cardio workout; I’ve lost 60 lbs with VR to date.

      What are you doing in VR for fitness?

        Not sure how to date this list is, but here is one way to look at it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vrhealth.institute&#x2F;vr-ratings&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vrhealth.institute&#x2F;vr-ratings&#x2F;

        I have found VR an easy way to get moving in a fun&#x2F;low friction way at the end of the day, instead of heading somewhere else. Depending on what you are doing, it isn&#x27;t going to cover everything, but moving something is better than nothing.

        Personally, I found Synth Riders a good way to queue up 60min continous activity that I enjoy.
