That actually surprises me as well. I would have thought that VR was going to be like 3D-TV: hyped very much for a certain amount of time but then mostly forgotten again. And I'm still not sure VR won't go down the same route.
- godzillabrennus 10y agoI thought that till I tried it. The experience is impressive, not at all like the gimmicky 3D TV.
- kleiba 10y agoMy skepticism mostly comes from reflecting on how I'm currently experiencing video games most of the time: together with a friend, sitting on the couch in front of the TV in the living room. This is a social setting: when we play a game together, we don't just look at the screen, we talk to each, look at each other, get up and get a drink from the kitchen, etc. And most often, we spend a few hours doing exactly that. I know that not everyone shares my feeling, but somehow I have troubles imagining doing the same with VR headsets on. I don't really want to be completely removed from this social setting, completely emerged in the VR environment -- I want both, plus the ability to switch between them quickly. Don't get me wrong, I think VR is a super cool technology. My point is that I just don't think it plays well with the social setting of a bunch of buddies hanging out together.
