    it’s important to clarify that this does not stream VR games—only the sorts of games you would play on a traditional 2D display like a computer monitor or a TV

      Oh, so worthless then.

      The vision pros are a good VR headset technologically, they’re just completely ruined by Apple’s software and general incompatibility with the entire VR ecosystem.

      Probably as a learning exercise so they know what developing and shipping for that platform is like.

      It portably wasn’t that hard to do. The ROI of something like this was probably worth it even if only a small amount of people will actually use it.
