Sounds like Jira to me

A successor to 3D movies, sure, but for more serious purposes you would have to push the level of immersion way up. I'm not sure anything less than a computer-brain interface could actually achieve that. Would you trust your life to a pilot who has only been trained using a VR headset?

I'm questioning wether the experience of going to a movie theater is really comparable to slapping on a headset. After all, it's all about immersion. If you just cared about image size, you could also watch a movie on your smartphone and hold it close to your face, which doesn't feel the same as watching a movie on a big screen either. Hence the analogy to a silent disco - sure, the music is just as loud, but the experience is completely different.

I'd think a silent disco would be a good parallel, and those haven't caught on either...

Even if Apple succeeded to make a 1 dollar, 1 gram, 1000 DPI VR headset, what would be the point of it?

Say we had a 1 dollar, 1 gram, 1000 DPI VR headset. How would that improve margins of businesses?

Why is anyone still pouring money into this again?
