The more VR headsets we make, the more we can refine the technology, smooth out the production pipeline, and offer higher quality headsets at a lower price. If we stop making VR right now? It will be the same deal. The technology hadn’t been dusted off and refined in a while, there was no demand for certain specialty parts, and the production pipeline had not yet been refined. Why? Because no one was making VR headsets. When we picked back up again in 2016, guess what the price of headsets were? $500-$1000. See, back in the 90s when we quit making VR headsets, guess what? The prices for headsets were between $500-$1000. I’ve heard more than a few people suggest just putting the whole thing back in the box and waiting another decade or so. Rather, VR has 3 main hurdles to overcome: Can it be improved? Sure, but for the most part that’s not necessary.
Look, the technology is THERE and it works shockingly well.
…unfortunately that future is still 2 or 3 years away (I’m thinking next console generation). Just last year, after a nearly 20 year absence, Virtual Reality made a comeback and after recieving the PlayStation VR as a Christmas gift I am convinced that while standard screen and controller gaming will NEVER go away and never should, Virtual Reality is absolutely “the future”. So it’s Thanksgiving and I’m sure we all have a ton of REAL stuff to be thankful for: our health, our families, the food on the table.īut today I’d like to say Thank You to the VR community.
