VR only works for certain types of games, it isn't universally useable the way a TV or monitor is.Ĭlick to expand.I think the fact that you can't think of any interesting uses for VR says more about you than anything else, especially given that big guys in the industry from John Carmack, to Gabe Newell, to our own David Helgason, to Mark Zuckerberg all seem to think the opposite. VR is gonna have to become way more convenient and useful before they can accend to a level higher than "gimmick". There is no compelling reason for them to buy this stuff, because VR doesn't have a killer app that makes it worth the trouble to them yet. VR and 3D and all this stuff is for enthusiasts, not mainstream consumers. 3D and VR don't do that, it's not an improvement, it's a paradigm shift The change from black and white to color or the change from CRT to LCD usually had obviously preceptable improvements over their old technology and usually made the experience more convenient, like adding remote controls or making your TV weigh a fraction as much as it used to. Hooking up goggles or glasses is just an extra step at the end of a long day of work, that doesn't add nearly enough immersion to be worth it.
Lazy, normal people take the path of least resistance and just want to plop down in front of their TV and play their unimaginative Triple A FPS games and watch Game of Thrones. The difference between regular TVs, and 3D and VR, is they require an additional step. Once the world had gotten bored with the gimmick of 3D everything, Sony and the other tech companies moved on to the next shiny object within arms reach and now 3DTVs are just referred to in the past tense. They did effectively nothing with it, maybe 4 games supported it, and it was $500. Yeah, but that TV was just part of the fad of 3DTVs a few years ago, and Sony pretty much stopped supporting it like 45 minutes after it came out. The good games on Wii (of which quite honestly there were few) either barely used or didn't use the motion controls.
