Idea for a Unified VR Platform to Grow the Ecosystem

Hi! I wanted to share an idea that I truly believe could help VR grow for everyone: companies, developers, and players.

Right now every VR company is building its own separate system. Each headset has its own store, its own controllers, its own rules, and its own standards. This makes VR more expensive, harder for studios to support, and confusing for people who want to get into it.

But what if the biggest companies worked together on one shared VR standard? Something like a “PC of VR,” where all headsets follow the same base system. Meta, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Valve and others could still make their own hardware, but they would all run on the same fundamental VR platform.

This would make headsets cheaper to produce, easier for developers to support, and way more attractive for big AAA games. We could finally see full versions of GTA in VR, Skyrim built for VR from the ground up, Call of Duty in VR, and long story-driven games that are worth buying a headset for. Players also wouldn't need to worry about choosing the “wrong” VR device.

If the VR industry grows together instead of separately, VR can reach the mainstream future that many of us imagine. The Ready Player One type of future can only happen if there is one unified foundation instead of seven incompatible ones.

I hope this idea reaches the right people, because I believe a shared VR platform would benefit the entire industry and bring VR to millions more people.
