VR - great or gimmick?

I was recently involved in a project that involved a little bit of VR. Mainly looking at a few headsets to see which might be suitable for another company to build some VR stuff for us. Last week I got to have a quick go of Half Life Alyx on a Valve Index. It was very impressive! Considering I'm not really a gamer, it really grabbed my attention. Now I find myself sort of tempted to get one. If I do then it'll definitely be a Vale Index despite the lead time. It was better than the really high end Varjo one that cost 10x the price.

 

Unfortunately, I'll be leaving the company soon so won't be able to try it out any further for myself. A question for those of you who might have bought a VR headset. Do you still find it useful / interesting or is it the sort of thing where the gimmick soon wears off?

  • i used to be a rep for 360Fly and have been doing VR for over 7 yrs.  i use it on my drone for aerial views as well as cars on the racetrack for all around "seamless" no stitching views    VR is also way cool to help overcome fears, such as heights and the like

     

    AR is fun but its augmented so things are going to be "not correct"   VR and gaming    off the chain!!!

     

    biggest challenge with VR and being accepted is its takes horsepower to make them correct    inexpensive gadgets wont cut it due to processing power needed     especially 4K
