Vive is not designed for seated use. You really need to use it in 3D space to appreciate it.

That may be the case but VR manufacturers needs to think hard whether they will stand a chance to go mainstream if they require a full room with no furniture.

You don't necessarily need a full room with no furniture, just a big enough space in a room, which can be temporary - for example, I use half my kitchen with the table moved back. You only need 1.5 x 2 m minimum (though that is a little restrictive).

I think 100,000 early adopters given the current very high price suggests going mainstream isn't much of a problem.
