As stated before, YMMV, because the killer apps for me have been iRacing and DCS in VR. If you aren't into simulation games, VR isn't really there yet for your genre. FPS's are getting there, kinda. Your brain still has to remind your body to crouch. Beatsaber, tennis, there's some novelty games but if you're asking yourself why would you buy VR, you already answered your own question. You shouldn't. Apple's headset, like the iPhone, will take some time to get apps working and finding their market fit. I do have hopes that Apple's headset brings VR into a more "stable" marketplace. Instead of just the few niche titles here and there that you play with Valve's headset or Oculus/Meta Quest.

Simulation games will ALWAYS benefit from more VR, more hardware, more wheels, more human interface controls.

Are there any good sites for tracking "use this for this" with relation to VR?

I feel like this is what I really want to know. "I built a custom car cockpit, and use it, and it's awesome"
