One of my earliest experiences with VR was from Disney as a child. They’d built a VR “magic carpet” ride for Aladdin where you sat on a saddle shaped seat, wore a headset, and could navigate around an Aladdin-like world on the virtual carpet. That was when I was a small child, down at Disney World. 30 years later, it’s interesting to see them pull back on what still isn’t a sure thing for home use. I believe VR will succeed in some form but I suspect live sports will be the first industry where it succeeds. Event tickets are already insanely expensive and an immersive experience to be “at” every game will be an easy sell for some.
