Yikes, VR does require a decent amount of power...

I wonder when computers will slowly be more accessible to VR. This can be VERY useful, especially in the medical world. Schools can take advantage and allow people to learn hands-on like never before

It doesn't have to, VR games can be designed around lower spec hardware ... 

Oculus's recommendation is based around playing the most technically demanding AAA games in VR which can be had for a price of around a price of $800-1000 worth of hardware ...

Ah, makes sense.

Disappointing when I heard their comments on the Mac. Apparently the top-of-the-line Mac Pro(costs 5000) isn't powerful enough for their recommendations.

 

Saying this though, I really hope VR is successful. I was disappointed when Nintendo's quality of Life didn't work out, so I'm hoping this goes well.
