Wow, I got downvoted! That's not a bad thing. It's communication. So here is some more upsetting information: I think that there is some cognitive dissonance going on here. I predict that many people (not everyone) here have two contradictory thoughts right now: a) O.R. is cool and amazing from a technological perspective, and b) I am not going to buy one. I predict further that the dissonance will be resolved by thinking that it's too expensive, that it has some flaw ("resolution is too low") or something else, so that they won't have to face the real reason they didn't buy it. Which is that it makes them a bit uncomfortable.

Probably because twice you said "It is going to bomb" instead of "I think it is going to bomb". It may very well bomb but probably more so because of high cost and lack of "killer" games. I've never heard someone say that the images give them a feeling of anxiety and to be honest it's never crossed my mind. I frequently do have anxiety but if anything VR looks like a way to escape from anxiety and real-world instead of something that causes those feelings. Nothing about VR makes me feel uncomfortable but maybe less technical people don't understand it's just a screen strapped to your face. Now self driving cars? That makes me uncomfortable...
