Has VR even really delivered anything? Why?

"Tell me, Dr. Freeman Mr. VR, if you can: you have destroyed so much — what is it exactly that you have created? Can you name even one thing?... I thought not."

I think the approach of being interested in VR is about as valid as being interested in CPUs. They're means to an end, in this case it's immersion. There's still a lot of work left to be done (graphics resolution, size and weight of the equipment, general clunkiness), sure. But who cares, just wait a few years if you don't like the current offerings. No point in dismissing the whole thing.

That might be true but we're talking about the tech that's around right now.

And that's totally clear from a thread title that talks about VR in general instead of current VR.

I'd actually say that VR in general can't be overhyped, but that we're all still waiting for that first product that makes it really affordable and great for >90% of all people.
