It's going to be a big thing regardless. It's the future. Things we do now will be better with VR.

 

VR has been tested to make a large percentage of the popular nautious. people heave repeatedly been saying that 3D would be something permanent for like 50+ years now and that has never been the case

I could see VIrtual REality being something in decades but the techonology is just not there now. People do not want to put some headset bullshit on their face. That's not 'virtual reality' that's literally just (essentially) pushing a moniter/TV closer to your eyes so you don't see things outside of the screen in your periphial. it's just not impressive

 

Oculus Rift will fail. too gimmicky

 

Immersion is not a gimmick. People with no depth perception get sick from playing first person shooters as it is now. That tells me the answer in VR is fixing depth perception. The answer is simple. Make a screen for each eye thus enabling stereoscopic 3D.  Otherwise yeah you're right.
