VR is something made for an amusement park. Who gonna put something on there heads where they cant even see or hear whats going on in their home. House can be on fire and you cant even see it. Somebody breaks in through a window and cleaning you out while you are right there not knowing whats going on but its a now thing? lmao

 

Cool story bro. I guess you must be an insomniac.  Sleep must be a foreign concept to you.

When you are asleep you still have your sense of sound to wake if hear something. Also sleep is just something we must do regardless of whether we want to or not and it is when we are at out most Vulnerable. If people did not have to sleep they would not do it.

Peope are not going to sit at home and put on a VR headset and make it so they can not hear or see whats going on in there homes. As I said before VR will be something for people to go to in the same way we go to an amusement park or a movie but it will never be something that makes it big in peoples home. I can see something like Playstation VR World that a person can take the family out for a night of fun but thats it.  Just remember you heard it here first when people start talking about what I just said.

You are attributing way too much value in this no one wanting to wear headsets.

 

I'm a dad of two under 5 and when I'm alone with the girls, I wouldn't wear the headset. I also wouldn't use it when I have guests over.

 

However, when the girls and wife are in bed... Why wouldn't I? It's really no different than me isolating myself in my office to PC game.
