Nobody wants VR _as it is currently implemented_. With goggles the size of glasses, no tether, and the ability to see around you at the flick of a switch, it would take over the planet. That could be a while off though.



Hololens gets around the 2nd limitation, and I believe many headsets already have cameras for seeing around.

I agree that the current implementation is cumbersome, but it's getting there fast.

I do tend to put VR and AR together, for the general public they're mostly the same, although I believe AR is the real deal.


AR done properly should be a superset of VR.


Personally I don't want VR until it is divorced from motion controls. I hate motion based control schemes.


What do you mean? You can play with joysticks and whatnot in some (most?) games e.g. Elite Dangerous
