I can see how some people would have trouble with that. Though most people don't seem to have an issue with it, considering how popular over the ear headphones are.

My personal experience with VR comes from using the Gear VR which honestly I've never used for more than like 25-30 minutes at a time (the phone overheats if you use it for too long) but I think you could comfortably wear that for an hour without too much issue. It's important to remember that the Gear VR should easily be the least comfortable headset when comparing it to the Rift or PSVR since it's heavier (555 grams with the phone vs less than 380 for the other two), puts most of the weight way out in from of the headset, and sits on your face like a scuba mask.

Arguibly the most popular depiction of VR in anime (SAO) uses these big giant helmets though. Plus, the little glasses you sometimes see would actually offer a pretty crappy experience. Since you'd have loads of light bleed and a terrible vertical FOV.

I want to use HoloLens for gaming and porn. VR on the other hand is not really appealing to me so far. Phil is right about the social aspect of gaming, you can't deny it.

I agree.

I wondered if I was the only one to see this: "I just love me watching you play Mario and giving you ideas about where things might be, and we laugh, and we can kind of sit around and eat chips, and do things that people do".

I never really got how you would use AR for gaming...I mean, the game world would be limited by the space you're physically in.

Current VR solutions just aren't practical when you take real world into account. For example, if you want to do something else while you are "mounted" you have to first take the thing off. With TV setup, you just pause the game and put the controller away and do your stuff, it is convenient. This is the biggest problem there is.

VR limits your comfortable positions a lot and makes it a lot more difficult to change positions while playing.

Isolation, relationships will be affected by this. Person in VR is not going to have a lot of social presence in the room, be it boyfriends/girlfriends, children or guests.

Possible health problems, currently the sample size is not big enough to reveal possible negative health effects.

Investment, price of VR equipment and possible cost of upgrading your hardware.

Value of VR experience, it is still unproved if mass market truly values the experience like the niche-audience does right now. Mass market could just say, VR is cool but it is not something I need in my life.

I really feel VR is still too early. Tech needs to advance a lot but eventually VR/AR (whatever solution it may be) will come and take over.

I agree with Spencer! I really don't like the idea of VR and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

It has nothing to do with the fact they haven't got VR and he wants to build a perception it's going to be antisocial ... absolutely nothing to do with it.

Yep it's not all or nothing. There is a lot of space between the future of gaming and a gimmick.
Mobile phone games, once tauted as the future of gaming (actually still are) are happily co-existing with console games.
VR games can co-exist fine with family room friendly gaming.

Whether it's his agenda or actual opinion, I doubt he has enough information to draw a conclusion ...
