I was one of those kids who played with LEGO and made paper planes and stuff, the act of physically building things was a big part of the fun. On the other hand, I find strapping a headset to my face more intrusive than immersive. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I have a follow up question if you don't mind.

Have you actually tried VR? If yes, which one? If yes again, which VR games or experiences have you tried and what were your complains regarding those?

Honestly curious.

Yeah, tried one of the PC ones, can't remember if it was Oculus or Vive. It was one of those sci-fi setting tech demos. I just didn't enjoy having the headset strapped to my face, it kinda defeated the whole "immersion" thing. The current VR hype reminds me of the 3D TV hype back in 2010-2011, it's being pushed like it's the way of the future, but for me they both fall flat for the same reason; the standard way of playing is just more comfortable and hassle-free.

Oh yes I'm very angry cause cardboard... LOL

And you managed to get offended and downright insult me with name calling over... a CARDBOARD toy. Dude you're making my day. I'm eagerly awaiting your reply cause, and I must agree with you here, this is indeed funny.

Is this meant for me? Didn't I already tell you I have no interest in buying labo? This is why I find you funny, you just talk without thinking about what we've talked about before.

Just because I called you an asshole doesn't mean I'm offended by anything you said. I just don't think you need to insult people for wanting to buy something you don't like. As I've said before you can have your opinion without being an asshole about it. 

Chill dude. There's no need to insult people. You can disagree with Crazygamer without calling him names.

There's way too much logic in this post!

The idea that it's just cardboard denies the briliance of this product.  Everytime I show the video to someone and the piano actually plays sound, their jaws drop.  They say WTF, how does it do that? Everytime!  The rest of the video is icing on the cake where their mind is still trying to catch up with what they're seeing.  They're not freaking out about it being cardboard, they're freaking out about it being cardboard and yet able to do something almost magic or at the very least hi-tech, albeit with a low-tech vibe.

That's a big part of the appeal to me too; the whole "wow, how did they do that with just the joycons and a screen?" It's like a magic trick.
