I wish I was more surprised. I was part of the first VR craze and it died then, niche markets aside, for the same reasons it will die now.
AR doesn’t have the same pitfalls but turning everyone into a google street view car for FAANGs in this political climate might be the end of the road there. Looking forward to the CV-bedazzling tech scene to flourish after that.
tl;dr; if we saw this much backlash to wearing masks, what did you expect with people covering every other orifice on their face? Also invest in dressing like an IR absorbent grandma.
