Exactly my point. Gimmicks get old. A gimmick you need to wear on your head gets old even faster.

- sedatk 5y agoVR hasn't even caught on to start getting old. It's still at its very early stages. We have yet to see the best of it.
- nikolay 5y agoI use my son as a sounding board on many things and it's been working pretty successfully for me. He was HIGHLY interested in VR, I got him an Oculus, and a bunch of other headsets before that, he went to play with Microsoft's at their stores, but today he has absolutely no interest - neither of his friends is into it either, none of the multitudes of sources he follows are interested either! You keep trying to abuse a corpse! I just cannot imagine a psychologically sane adult who would put on a headset and become an infantile avatar in a virtual world. It's sickening on any level! It's like the 3D movies which nobody cares about now! Gimmicks are always temporary.
- sedatk 5y agoWhat you say sounds like someone from the 70's bashing video games as a gimmick because their son got bored of playing Pong. As I said, it's too early for VR to catch on; there is still a huge space to explore there. Infantile avatars in VR is Pong in the 70's. Headset itself may be a temporary gimmick as we will surely get better ways to connect our senses to virtual worlds, but VR isn't going away.
- nikolay 5y agoNo, everybody liked video games; I know nobody who likes VR. I'm sorry to ruin your assumptions, but I'm am a pathological case of an early adopter and have been for over 30 years!
