Really? I've used an Oculus Rift; it pretty immediately turned me from curious to extreme doubter.
Can I ask why? Do you not feel like the medium of VR gives you presence and adds something that no other medium does? To me I'm more concerned about the content and if that can be 'solved'. Also if there's no way to fix motion sickness with standard "non-neural stimulation" technology then it will always be limited I think.
>Do you not feel like the medium of VR gives you presence and adds something that no other medium does?
Absolutely not. I feel like I have a pair of very low resolution monitors strapped to my face. The whole rig needs to be an order of magnitude lighter and and order of magnitude higher resolution before it actually approaches "virtual reality". It's pretty impossible with the current generation of devices to forget that the device is there, which I see as a key requirement of credible virtual reality.
I was a doubter until I got a free samsung gear vr with my phone. Some of the apps are just amazing, and turned this doubter into a believer. Everyone I've let use it, thinks it's amazing especially The avengers demo.
The few people who liked it but had to stop, had issues with nausea.
I think we are maybe a generation or two away from a vr explosion.
It seems to have a magical ability to turn doubters into enthusiasts.
