Last leg? It hasn't started yet. Yes there is a hype, yes we read everywhere about it for a while but thats it.
Prices are still to high, people need to get more experience in it and investors need to be convinced.
This takes a while.
Only because tec is so fast, doesn't mean vr is dead.
In the next years i'm guessing things like this will come or are on the way already:
- VR Cafes
- VR lighter, cheaper and with higher resolution
- VR for industrie (especially training people in VR will be huge)
- VR experience centers where you have VR / AR by having a VR Headset and interact with the Environment
- VR for building houses, renovating flats
- glenndebacker 9y agoIt doesn't help if a lot of people get nauseous trying it... That seems a bigger hurdle then the price or investors. It's even worse then with the 3D-movie fad where people only complained about headaches. I've had the Oculus Rift for some time but in the end I sold it. At the current stage with the problems the platforms still have I honestly don't see it as worth investing my time in it. If I would place a bet short-term it wouldn't be on VR but rather AR. Then again there are certainly niche's where it has his place but as a general usage device? Nah.
- tigershark 9y agoI don't really think so. AR is not very far in the future and it will really be a mind blowing experience, especially with multiple focal planes. VR is born dead if it doesn't manage to become mainstream before the huge AR revolution.
- erikbye 9y agoAs to price, if production costs can't be sufficiently reduced, subsidizing might be needed. Would iPhone have been as successful without carrier subsidies?
