The state of VR in 2026?

I am a software developer and philosopher. I am also passionate about virtual reality. To a certain extent, I have been able to convey this passion to others. I have already convinced two companies I worked for to purchase VR headsets (Quests), introducing 250 people to VR. Unfortunately, I have seen that only a few remained enthusiastic.

This year has seen already a rapid succession of highs (the Frame) and lows (Meta closing studios). At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, this got me thinking. What will the state of VR be in 2026, and what needs to happen for it to catch on with the general public?

For those interested in this question beyond the daily news and reviews, I have written a series of 10 blogs about the [state of VR in 2026](https://medium.com/@raymondmeester/list/state-of-vr-2026-c316f324bc40). What do you think about virtual reality? Will it ever amount to anything?
