Right now VR environments are still "barf machines". Some people are working on handling the balance problem, but it will be more than just messing with the inner ear.

Instead we might get something like the ball from Lawnmower Man. Heh. Or complete neural bypasses like in Matrix etc.

It's not at all true that they are "barf machines".

For a properly installed "room scale" vive installation almost noone experiences any discomfort.

Badly designed software can absolutely still cause sickness but thats on the owner of the Vive.

The headsets are still too hot and bulky.

They don't have good enough visuals for large amount of text manipulation.
