Being wired doesn't make it a fad. The fact it's been out for as long as it has and there's only a handful of games that anyone says is decent makes it a fad.

It's more than a fad. It's definitely "niche" at this point but it's not going anywhere. Trust me, I once thought as you did until I actually tried it out. VR has ENORMOUS potential, the very least of which is in video games. Other applications have much bigger upside. Sporting events in VR will be huge! Imagine buying an NFL Sunday VR ticket that puts you on the 50 yard line of every NFL game. You can watch games in the comfort of your home the way you do live. While watching it on TV you're forced to follow the ball because that's what the camera follows. Watching it in VR would be like being there which would allow you to focus on the entire field of play. Imagine watching pay per view boxing or UFC where you're literally at ringside. Besides Sports, there's all kinds of potential with VR travel. One could see travel world while sitting on their couch. What about when we send humans to Mars? I guarantee you a VR camera will be present where people at home can have a VR experience of what standing on Mars would look like. Then there's medical implications. Surgeons training on different surgeries in VR.

As with most new tech, look for porn to lead the way. As soon as someone figures out VR-friendly porn, it's on.

I'll allow it. Those were strong, convincing situations. Excellent post.
