When it becomes a port at the top of the neck that puts you in the literal matrix, then VR will be a thing.

Voluntary cyborg poo poo won't become popular unless surgery in the US becomes cheap enough you can afford to have it done every year.
Even then tech companies can say goodbye to releasing new gadgets every six months. Even if it's just a socket you plug different modules into you'll still have to get that poo poo updated every once in a while.

VR would be pretty awesome if you could like physically run around and poo poo. Just wearing the lovely headsets and being tied to a keyboard/mouse/controller is pretty lame.

I made it all the way up until the end of the hovercraft thing before valve patched HL2 to work with dev kit 2 and broke compatibility with my dev kit 1. No sickness here. Perhaps my genes are a better fit for the VR future than yours.

the new valve platform actually has sensors you can place for up to 15x15 play area so you can walk around.

maybe. i did relatively well but you often had to turn your body, which also caused your head to move. and i had to basically close my eyes whenever i needed that because it actually kind of hurt

Wry and wise,

vr is v cool for a bunch of industrial fields but when it comes to games there isn't really a killer app for it yet, a doom or a mario to justify and focus the platform

VR headsets are going to end the era of every loving game being a first person shooter and start the second golden age of flight/mech/space sims. It'll be just like the 90s where every PC gamer had some sort of joystick.

VR is going to be a nice bubble for like 2-3 years until nerds and devs alike realize there really isn't some genius ground to break in VR gaming-- like there isn't going to be anything more immediately profitable and appealing to mainstream audiences like CoD or Mario, it's just a nice gimmick to show off and *maybe* add a bit of flavor to your experience.

It will however be kept alive as a niche industry as the next level of pornography and become synonymous with fleshlights and dildos as something you have but don't keep displayed in the open unless you're socially shameless.

Then one day someone will finally get close to holodeck technology and the real fun will begin.

They actually are focusing on digital for the 4k stuff. You get a portable drive with some 4k movies on it or something.
