I still can&#x27;t believe that there are people who actually think VR is going to be used by anyone besides people who play video games. I&#x27;ve used an Oculus, and I&#x27;ve used a Vive, and I&#x27;ve used a Google Cardboard, and I&#x27;ve tried all sorts of neat demos.<p>I fully believe a photorealistic experience can be had, and I fully believe that that experience will be able to exist at a reasonable price point, but I don&#x27;t believe normal people will be interested in such an experience.<p>As a medium, it&#x27;s not nice to use with other people, which is a huge part of the way we consume our media. I don&#x27;t believe that normal people are going to ever socialize by looking at each others avatars. If you consider interacting with someone&#x27;s avatar socializing, you should understand that is why people make jokes at the expense of World of Warcraft players. Once the novelty wears off, people aren&#x27;t going to find it interesting.<p>It&#x27;s not great for text either, and I don&#x27;t think it will ever be better than a 4k monitor for text... Always bet on text. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;graydon2.dreamwidth.org&#x2F;193447.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;graydon2.dreamwidth.org&#x2F;193447.html</a><p>I agree that AR could be huge. But VR gets way too much hype.
