I’m just some guy, but I have been in tech long enough (40 years) to learn that just because a technology exists doesn’t mean that it will be popular. So it’s no surprise to me that it hasn’t yet reached mass adoption. I have seen some really great technology cast aside. And usually for valid reasons from the market’s point of view. I personally don’t see where VR is going to provide enough value—-and by that I mean in saving labor, money, resources or providing pure pleasure—-for mass adoption in legitimate markets. It is cumbersome, it looks silly, it’s unsettling and uncomfortable and it’s not really that great of an experience in my opinion. However—-and I hesitate to say it—-it may become a bona fide substitute for certain kinds of “friendship”. That would seem to be the killer app, in more ways than one.
