Have you used Oculus? It is FAR from a joke or gimmick.


Doesn't keep it from looking like one though.

If you scale back the usability/approachability, it cannot have the same success as it's prior forms.

VR is to 3D TV, 3D Blu-rary, and 3D streaming etc as the WiiU Gamepad is to the original WiiMote. Seems cool to some of us, but ridiculous to the rest of us. The gamepad also being far less cumbersome a gimmick than VR in general.

I see what you're saying for sure.  One other thing I think is noteworthy to point out.  Oculus is the only technology listed above who's company has John Carmack (newly) stationed near the top of it.  One of the most visionary minds ever involved with anything gaming.  Also, someone who has had success with never before seen techologies on small and large budgets.  Both with creating techs from the ground up from scratch and with large scale licensing.
