I think VR is still so early and there is still no 'viral winning app' that 100% justifies VR. There is a lot of searching and scrambling for it. Perhaps it is in business and productivity. There is limitless potential for VR, but the tech isn't quite there for many use cases. And worse yet, is there is still no single app or game that is like, this is the single reason you buy into VR.

With rising property costs in many major areas and pushes towards open offices. Think of how VR would solve the proximity problem, if you could plug into VR into a virtual office and still have 'proximity benefits' while working remotely but still have privacy/separation and cheap rent and commute.

I've been tossing around the adoption issue as well, and I think the "viral winning app" issue is maybe the wrong way to think about it.

The viral winning app sells a device, but not an ecosystem. I don't think the iPhone for example had a single viral winning app. It was more a confluence of enough capabilities merged into your phone that it became really helpful to own a smartphone. I suspect that's how VR will go if it succeeds. It eventually hits a price point and there are enough individual reasons to own and use a VR headset that it begins to make sense for everyone to own one.
