    VR in general, there is no killer app, no thing that makes VR worth the cost. The peak of VR is probably Beat Saber. I have a quest 3 and I just use it to watch TV in bed without disturbing my wife. It’s nice having a giant video display but not useful for most people.

      The killer VR app for me is golf games. GOLF+ and Walkabout Minigolf. It’s a great way for me to keep in touch with my parents who live in a different city. It’s like a better version of a phone/video call every once in a while (and at $350 with the better headstrap, it’s not too expensive for a present)

      Ironically this is where the Quest absolutely destroys the Vision Pro, which doesn’t have any VR golf (or even minigolf) games as far as I can tell.

      VR headsets are basically multiplayer golf simulators to me. Which makes the Vision Pro a golf simulator that doesn’t have golf.

      Simracing with VR is quite nice, tho. You’ll never get that level of immersion with screens
