No, that question is wrong, because that answer rounds up to 100%.

Maybe a vocal minority like us HN-folk, but I don't think that by ourselves we really matter in terms of numbers.

Exactly. You could assume that it's likely that something like 2.75B (out of the est 2.89B) FB users would happily wear (free) physical spyware in this scenario.

My wife put on an Oculus Quest and threw up within 5 minutes from simulator sickness. In this case, I think the average HN-Folk is _more_ likely to be interested in VR than the average person

My late step-mother put on an Oculus Go and played basically every rollercoaster simulator available on the device back-to-back.

It was like the Matrix scene where Neo was learning, then leaves the simulation and says "I know Kung Fu".

She used computers for social media and looking up recipes, so not very savvy at all. I don't think there's a correlation between interest in VR and technicality. Maybe between _vocal_ interest in VR and technicality.
