As a game developer, I find the comparison to 3D movies to be naive. There's a world of difference between passively consuming TV content and actively consuming gaming content. To find a good analogy, I'd actually look back to the first 3D accelerated cards. They were expensive, had bad compatibility (remember Glide?), often required a weird piggyback on a 2D accelerator to work. But hard core games bought them, because the experience you got was so much better than what came before. You better believe the same people won't mind plugging some goggles in. If VR can pull that off, it's going to be huge. But it has to be a life changing experience the first time you put the goggles on. Like going from a Nokia to an iPhone. There's no room for incrementalism here. And half of that is going to come from the initial software - what use is Voodoo without QuakeGL?
