Unfortunately, the only generation that will notice any VR innovation is Gen Alpha or younger. The older generations as a whole are either indifferent or flat out hostile to VR.

- bigmealbigmeal 1y agoPutting on a headset for the first time reminded me of using a computer for the first time. It was that paradigm-shifting. The frustrating thing is, back when computers were "silly" and "not ready", the type of person you'd now find on Hacker News saw it as an exciting impetus to build a new world. With virtual reality, all I see is a collective eyeroll. It's honestly tragic. This is a burgeoning medium, a new form of art. For most of human history, people didn't get to experience that even once in their entire lifetime. And the response is cynicism. The only explanation I have is that we are so inundated with stimulus, so overwhelmed with entertainment, that we no longer feel a drive to build a new form of it. We're all drugged up on social media, and can't see the potential of a new medium even when it's literally right in front of our faces.
