Hello @Maddog
I want my jetpack, too! Seriously, though, Google did try putting out a roadmap schedule at one point last year. Then COVID-19 hit hard, and those dates ended up getting missed, and the community raked them over the coals for it. So, more recently (e.g., in this interview with John Justice: https://youtu.be/MnMDA_FBugU ) they've stated their new approach is to develop new features more quietly and then announce them when they're essentially done and ready to use. So, as much as I'd love to hear more about what they're working on, it looks like we'll continue to see new developments drop with little warning. That can be fun, too!
Just a note on VR, though – that is going to be challenging. It's much more sensitive to latency. There are potential solutions to that problem that involve rendering a larger area and using local hardware to pan around within it, but that will require more work on the client, and it doesn't solve all of the problems. So, while I expect they are working on this, I would not hazard a guess as to when we might see it.
