New marketing strategy: Gift 1000 units to various library maker spaces in large cities. Sponsor experimental art exhibits and STEAM camps which all feature the headsets. Basically, let 1000 flowers bloom. See what people with an interest in the technology actually do with it. See what people react best to. What parts of the tech are flashy and interesting? Because clearly, they have no clue.
They keep their best engineers with the coolest ideas in R&D making world-changing prototypes and then lock those prototypes away under NDAs and copyright bullshit. And this is still all we get.
This shit is such a waste. Of money. Of creativity. Of humanity. You enslave children in the global south to mine the rare earth minerals for all these servers and workstations and cell phones and websites and extract billions of dollars’ worth of value that could have gone to healthcare or infrastructure or education and this is what you do with it? It’s fucking evil. It’s so fucking evil.
