I think so. Though my bets are on mobile VR taking off very soon. Although you're limited by the processing power of the phone the ability to carry a VR headset anywhere and be untethered is totally worth the trade off. Watching a movie in the GearVR as if you were in a movie theatre is one of the most pleasant VR experiences out there. I'm also a big fan of cardboard for its portability and thriftiness, but it is definitely a limited VR experience. Think of it as a gateway VR experience. With room scale VR on the way with Oculus CV1 and the Vive we're also going to see much more compelling VR experiences. The caveat here is that they'll be quite inaccessible as they'll require a pretty hefty gaming rig and a dedicated space for walking around. But things like Oculus Touch will bring the interactivity of VR to a new level. Right now it's very much just sit and rotate your head. It'll get better I think. There are also a lot of unsolved challenges like storytelling, capturing a users attention when they're free to look anywhere, limited input, etc. It's a great time to be a VR developer. |
