Simple: it provides a hyper-compelling experience that is completely unavailable through any other means, and does so for merely the price of a peripheral. Doubters will visit a friend's house and use it and be instantly sold. VR is a Big Deal.
- ekianjo 13y agoI've given several reasons why it won't work this way, and you just come up with an assumption that the current VR tech is SOOOOO good that everyone will want one. Did you go to the GDC ?
- MrScruff 13y agoHaving used the DK1 it was obvious even with all the limitations that VR will be a dominant entertainment platform within a decade. It's simply too compelling to be anything other.
- contulluipeste 13y agoYou touched a very important point of promoting VR to masses. People have indeed to be "instantly sold" to it, but trying it to a friend's house won't be enough in my view. Broad and free public experience availability is crucial to promote it on "must-have personal gadget" level. I don't fancy FB and the current acquisition, but the heavy promoting will require heavy investment (like from someone who can afford to pay billions on a whim).
