Bright side: VR was thought to be ‘difficult’ but in the end it was stated as ‘ Setting up the project vr ready is actually easy’ or ‘Web VR is not that difficult’ or ‘ I learned that coding in AR is not as difficult as i first thought’.
Dark side:
Collaboration
API version incapability
Lack of supporting hardware
Learning curve
Models and Interactions
