Because at the moment, its just a screen in your face. An unconfortable huge device attached to your head for hours will get unconfortable aswell. Its a disaster waiting to happen.

For this tech to work, it needs to work better. This new motion technology marriage is a good idea and it needs to be less cumbersome.

Well...all VR is going to be screen on your face, how else would you be able to see anything? Actually, so far people have been saying that the Morpheus is really comfortable and Sony seem to have gone to great lengths to make sure it was easy to wear.

Obviously as time goes on the headsets will get smaller and more comfortable, but the first impressions that we've been getting have been saying that it isn't really an issue with the current hardware.

Perception is what matters and that thing looks hideous. If it were something like a Visor, like you see in anime's like Sword art online, it would have a better chance. Morpheus does not look anymore aestethicaly pleasing than the virtual boy. Also, "people" have not had it in their head for several hours yet.

The tech is not ready. Not good enough and not practical.
