1. Many users even those that don't wear glasses were not comfortable with the size and shape of slightly heavy 3D sunglasses. These helmets only exacerbate that issue by several orders of magnitude and add new ones completely cutting you off from your view of your surroundings.

2. Even if Sony can eek out a $200 Morpheus(which I don't think they can) You'll also need a 60 dollar camera so that's already 260 which is expensive.

  1. VR headsets dont work that way. There is enough space within the head set for people with glasses and cutting off your view of you rsurroundings is exactly what its designed to do. Even light from your surroundings filtering into the headset breks the experience. The whole point of VR is that it actually becomes your surroundings (hence the name). Its supposed to replce your reality with whatever world you just walked into.
  2. Displays are not as expensive as you think. That aside, this is a concern i share with you, I don't think sony can get it down to $200 but I believe they can retail it for under $300. At that price it would be a very very tough sell, but it could be ok if they make it possible to also use it as a normal monitor or TV. While promising to give you the illusion of having a really really big tv.

1 Wii U panorama View is a primitive "look-around" game that has not been very popular. No porn though!

2 Is it not the Parrot AR drone you are describing minus the VR controle?

3 This one could maybe work: Super Bowl whitout any real audience!

  1. Primitive compared to what you can do here. And you said it, NO PORN!!!!! I am calling it now, porn will spearhead the VR movement, like it helped VHS win betamax (at least thats what i was told)
  2. Yup, exactly that. Just that now controls are handled by your controller and the drones axix and fov is basically controlled by your head. oh and of course you get the awesome view
  3. Yup, and much much more. In truth those are the kinda things that will really spur mass adoption. You have to show people things an experiences that can only be made possible with VR. And they have to be things people will want to do.
