'The future of VR is obviously in mobile.'

Yeah, you know what, I can't suspend my disbelief that much.

Yep, if you search for VR headset on Amazon almost all the results are for phones.

Because they are cheap. They are literally boxes with a two lenses in them. I'm not a big fan of VR in general and I think it's probably going to just die in a decade only to be brought back again in twenty years, but Oculus and Vive projects have at least some modicum of innovation to them compared to mobile, simply because of hardware and software limitations of the latter. Google Cardbox is a fun little gimmick for :10bux:, but there's no money and therefore no real future in it. You can check latest VC investment numbers to see that VR hardware mostly gets the money.

AR, on the other hand, is something that has some real potential on mobile only.

Mike Judge has a history of being racist in his shows

King of the Hill's neighbors were Asian stereotypes (and they never even said whether they were Chinese or Japanese)

They were from Laos, stupid. It's a landlocked country in South-East Asia.
