Very questionable. Phone VR is on a different level and not really comparable with decent headsets. It's more accessible for casuals, but the "real deal" will surely not come from phones. Especially not when stuff like foveated rendering/eye tracking and proper controllers come into play. |
I agree that current phone tech isn't there. But it is a question of a few years before phones will provide experiences that matches or exceeds those of PC-tethered sets. They have a much shorter period of time for tech iterations.
Though smart phones have struggled with introducing any new input/output standards at all since the very first iPhone, so what might happen is that the VR standalone sets end up showing everyone how it should be done.
