There are seated vr experiences too, but as a Vive owner, I don't think they're going to get cheap enough quickly enough to take off. Maybe we'll get attempt #3 taking off next decade..


I don't think price has much to do with it. Even if they were free I can't see them taking off.


VR isn't going to replace flat-panel gaming, it's a new medium, and for more than just games. Think of a VR headset as a new kind of output display, not a new format for video games.


I agree with that. When I say "take off", I mean become popular with or useful for the general public. It makes a great demo though. Also, I'm talking about the current generation of VR that involves strapping something to your face. Get rid of that and everything changes.
