Meta CTO's Perspective on VR, Threads, Metaverse, and Apple's Vision Pro
Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth reportedly advocated for canceling the Oculus standalone VR project in favor of PC-based VR, according to a report. However, Bosworth responded to the report, stating that it was inaccurate and misleading. He clarified that the company was not initially staffed to handle both mobile and PC VR, but both approaches were pursued at the insistence of Mark Zuckerberg. The report also highlights the development of Oculus Quest, which successfully combined the benefits of both PC and standalone VR. The article raises questions about the internal dynamics and decision-making within Meta's VR division.
