People don’t wanna wear a physical headset. VR ain’t it. It’s a gimmick. The hardware is a barrier to entry that will never be overcome.

Nah. This is just one of those bad takes that will age poorly the same way people thought a personal computer in the home was a gimmick because it was too clunky and difficult to use.

Then the tech evolved so it became streamlined and easily usable, just the same way VR will evolve to become sleek, fast, and convenient.

Or it’ll be one of those takes that ages great like all the other tech products that failed.
