aaah the naysayers :)

You are abuot the same age I was when the first VR hype was big. As arcade halls was plentiful in those days it seemed to be a good economic model for earning a lot of money. I bet you remember how good it looked and how cool everything was. I guess you were in your early teens? I as an adult did not doubt that this was the future. But it faded away slowly. When I saw the Occulus Rift I thought that this is old news.Maybe it will be successful this time with Facebook backing it. Back then it also got big backing, by Sega and others.

Yeah because a VR headset powered by computer 0.001% as powerful as the phone in my pocket is totally going to do a good job right? I don't respect opinions like these because they are not based on anything reasonable.

Would you like a list of technological applications that were discarded due to the exact same reasoning as you've applied here? That's rhetorical because I don't want to discuss this with someone who uses "back in my day" arguments.

And my age has nothing to do with it. I've used OR - and looked at the source code that came along with it. I literally just finished a 2 year study of a C++ toolkit used at the most notable research facilities in the world. It is not unreasonable for me to claim that I am  in step with technology and computers.

This technology is new, exciting and offers incredible possibilities. I know this for a fact - economic success or not. So I have no need to listen to this "old man talk".
