VR is gonna be a niche for the enthusiasts. An expensive fad like 3D. It's gonna die until it resurfaces decades later when 1. it's affordable to everyone 2. base line of the mainstream hardware is strong enough for good VR content 3. wireless and feather light4. all the kinks of motion sickness and screen door effect are worked out. People will look back at todays technology like we look back at 90s VR. |
1. Check, starting price of 399 for new tech is pretty low already, and will drop.
2. Check, hardware is fine and more than capable, don't believe all the fud.
3. Wireless would be nice, however extra lag is not a good idea.
Feather light, why? Good quality over the ear headphones don't seem to bother people. PSVR is 610 gramms, a bit more than a bicycle helmet, half that of a mororcycle helmet. It depends on how it fits.
4. Motion sickness will never be completely solved, it's still a problem with normal screens, and without any screen at all...
Screendoor effect seems not to be a big concern of reviewers so far. The low resolution should be fine too for version 1. I lived through 320x256 blown up to 72" on a projector, it was great.
Anyway in a decade we'll have 8K VR screens with eye tracking and foveated rendering. You won't have to wait long.
