I think VR is overselled, never underestimate the effect of intrusiveness on the user. This is the same reason we have less 3D movies than a few years ago, the novelty factor fade and the gains from the medium have to be sufficient to beat the intrusiveness. VR is cumbersome, a large part of the population will probably never be able to use them and users now prefer low engagement medium due to the constant distraction life we are in now.
- fossuser 11y agoMaybe - though the presence you get from VR is really something new. 3D was intrusive for minimal gains (even in the best case of Avatar it wasn't that different of an experience). If you've been able to play with a DK2 and some of the better experiences it really is different. Even with the huge improvements made recently there are still really big changes that would make things even better. (100x higher resolution on the small displays, 90hz and 90fps on mobile, graphics hardware way beyond where it is now). VR puts a strain on modern hardware, but it really gives you something new and maybe that sense of presence will be enough that even with the intrusiveness users will want it.
- UberMouse 11y agocumbersome is only a temporary thing, VR is definitely going to be an enthusiast thing for the next couple of years, but once the form factor/price starts coming down and the content is actually starting to come out at a reasonable rate I can't see it doing anything but exploding. It's not something you can really understand until you've experienced it first hand, but I think the experience can turn a decent amount of people into enthusiasts.
