Well I wouldn't say 3D was that much of a dud. At least the movie industry is making tons of money with it.
I don't really care if VR will be a fad. The few years it will be popular will be enough to get my fill and enough content out of it. But in the end it's really hard to estimate the success. While both 3D and motion controls have their wow effect, the effect of VR is so much stronger on the individual person. I think physical marketing will be the key here. Everyone knew before 3D and MC what it was and how it would feel like because they already experienced it before. But with VR almost no one knows how and why it is so amazing. Even in this forum misinformation is constantly spreading around and people write it off before having tried it.
So there would need to be big campaigns in malls and festivals and wherever people are to give them hands on experience with it or they won't see how amazing it really is. |
I can see VR as something you wont really "get" until you experience it.

This. I was pretty skeptical about VR until I got a chance to try it myself. Now I'm sold on it.
