A technology like Google Stadia will probably solve this. Nobody will need a expensive hardware to run it. The graphics will be generated in cloud computing and streamed to the VR. Keep creating hardwares to run better graphics is a dead end.
The speed of light says no. “The cloud” will always have too much latency to do acceptable vr. To meet your deadline for a 120hz video frame, your signal can travel at most 1500 miles in a vacuum, closer to 1000 miles in copper/fiber.

Perhaps but you haven't established that.

Edge computing is a feature of some modern clouds, and certainly is intended to have much lower round trip distance than that to at least major markets, specifically to reduce latency.
Admittedly, public cloud offerings don't tend currently to have compute resource suitable for hosting VR in their edge offerings, but it's certainly something a major cloud player supporting their own gaming/VR offering could do, and for that matter a feature that it is easy enough for public cloud vendors to offer if there was sufficient demand.
Edge computing is a thing, but it really doesn’t help that much: That 1000 miles has to include the signal path inside your gpu to generate the frame and assumes no data loss in transit.
If it takes 4ms to generate a frame you’re down to < 500 miles from the data center. If you need to pad for packet loss you’re down even further.

As I understand, edge computing locations tend to be in most major cities in the regions covered, providing tens-of-miles distance to most people in
major markets.
100%. Even if you do not use it. You chance of getting cancer is 100%, if you live long enough. It is the "default:" case in the "switch()" statement on "what kills you".
things in Brazil are getting really weird.. most ministers and politicians started to use alt-right vaporwave meme aesthetics on their social media profiles, even though this is a clearly neonazi joke
I've been working on my own startup for the last three years trying to achieve product market fit, I'm now looking for a position on a bigger company as a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer.
My career is based on the microsoft .net/azure stack, and that's what I am doing for my current client. A lot of it is just crud/batch import stuff for collecting/validating data on various models which includes a lot of business logic built around complex relationships in their data structures.
On the side, I am working on a sports web app with a friend as I find time using the same stack.
Also, lately I have been trying to learn reinforcement learning. What about yourself?
