Quoted from DanQverymuch:I am surprised to see very little confidence here in VR becoming huge.
Compare the Nintendo Virtual Boy to the Oculus Rift. Now imagine a similar advancement in 10 years or whatever.
None of this "choose a viewing angle" nonsense, it'll be full motion and hard to distinguish from reality.
Add in a full size pinball controller, weighted and with nudge sensors and haptic feedback.
Absolutely stunning emulation of old games. Crazy, physically impossible new games.
Actual physical pins will seem silly (and their demand and prices will drop). The VR versions will never break down, need parts or even get dirty, not to mention they will cost orders of magnitude less.
Online tournaments will finally be feasible as everyone will play the same game, set up the same.
And unlike so many shooter video games, you simply stand in front of a pinball so there won't be the problem of your physical body wanting to ambulate in VR.
Pooh pooh it now all you like, it's coming!
I suspect that your predictions are accurate. Nevertheless, I choose the blue pill.
