I totally think VR is The Future, but I don't disagree with anything he said. It's an expensive toy for early adopters and developers, still. They're not going to sell millions of these in the first generation. The Vive won't either. I got to try it last week, and it's mind-blowing, but a) it takes up a lot of room and b) there are going to be casualties from room scale VR. Injuries and loss of furniture at least. I only watched people playing for 3 hours, and the guy doing the demo took an elbow to the ribs, and the 1500 pc they were using was tripped over.

I think we may well see VR-specific rooms in upper-middle class homes in the future. Or maybe home theatre rooms that can double as VR rooms.
