As long as we ' re tied to a computer with cords and wires , and as long as it requires a clunky albeit lightweight headset , A wireless solution is coming very soon , so thats one less problem . And weight and size will reduce with time , so thats another one down . and as long as it takes you completely out of reality and into your own , very singleplayer dimension , I can ' t possibly see how it ' s going to be the next big thing . Remember when people said that about video games . Maybe it will see some level of success in a corner of the gaming community , but that ' s a pretty small community comparatively . Ah yes the small 100 billion dollar per year market . Look at the Wii we all thought that motion and activity was really great and had high potential , and look where we are nowUsing this idea to help develop VR ? VR wont be for most people that is for sure but I can guarantee that it WILL be the next big thing . Even if only for gaming .
