Is there a demand for it? Of course there is.
Will some make a killing off it? Absolutely.
But sit in any doctor's office today and watch all the people sitting there mindlessly staring down at their so-called 'smart' phones. Or mall, or on a subway or bus. Anywhere where people are sitting in groups. To me there's very little difference.
Well, except for one...
Imagine you're in a wheelchair. You're disabled in some way. Or you're just someone who isn't one of the "beautiful people", your job sucks, you have no game with the opposite sex, and you suck at life. Then along comes VR, and you have a shot at immersing yourself into a whole new universe complete with a whole new persona, new life of adventure, new prospects, everything you ever dreamed of and more.
And that just covers those types of people. Ones who would be laughed at by you jokers anyway. Let's not mention all those so-called 'beautiful people' who will buy and use the same technology. Because the fact is a lot of those types hate their lives too.
Am I saying you have to hate your life to use VR? No. I'm saying that based on that alone there is a huge demand. There will also be a shit-ton of people who'll use it as an escape, just like they do now with computer and console games.
In other words I'm really on the fence as to just how much ridicule I want to throw at these "sheeple". We've been getting fleeced in one way or another, every one of us, for our entire lives whether anyone wants to admit it or not. The next big operating system when the previous one was fine. Overpriced coffee makers when the older ones do the same damn thing for a 50th of the price. etc etc.
Newer, faster, bigger, smaller, lighter, smarter, better. Words we all live and die by, for everything.
I for one welcome our new VR overlords. Smart home, hot android wife, and VR life.
Can't get here soon enough.
