Comment on Valve released a new VR helmet?
sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days agoI feel like it will always be a niche. Vr headsets have been available for a while even at affordable prices, and there just isn’t that much demand / interest. Despite things like half life alyx and Google earth VR (clearly the killer apps)

I’ve had a few headsets over the years and there is just no killer app that makes using it better outside of a few niche things like the exercise games.
Yeah google earth is neat, but worth firing up the headset and going through all that when I can just use a mouse? Forget it, I just won’t bother.
I think you are right and I don’t see how it breaks out of this niche. Maybe when they can stimulate touch.
I also just get VR fatigue rather quickly, and it takes time to build a tolerance.
I’ve wanted this ever since I read snow crash as a kid, and I got into the 3d stuff back in the day of VHTML.
