Take a look at Peter Diamandis' blog entry about "11 steps for going BOLD".
For the VR, AR, 3D printer, Wearables and AI fans out there, this sentence is the take-away:
"One key is looking for the creation of an ‘interface-moment’ (e.g. Andreessen’s creation of the Mosaic browser for the Internet) which allows entrepreneurs to build new businesses."
Interface moments, like VR and AR headsets, like 3D printers, like wearable (sensor) technology and like AI / big data analytic platforms out there, take heart. You're paddling at the beginning of the wave (as Roger Hamilton would say).
Get ready to ride the AR/VR (Mixed Reality) wave.
Update 5 Aug 2017:
For VR companies focusing in health - don't be disheartened. You're almost through the valley of despair.
