>VR was tried again a few years ago, it got quite successful

Has it been successful? It looks like a dead end to me.

For what's it's worth, VR porn is absolutely amazing.

Interestingly enough that's rarely brought up.

To me that is success. VR games are great deal of fun too and provide novel experiences.

a multi-billion dollars market with a few millions users is not a dead end

this isn't playstation level success but it's a joke to say it's a dead end

See Colonizing Cyberspace for the history and state of the art as seen at a point in the mid 90s.
