That's fair. Seeing an impressive example of the tech put to good use might get me excited about it, something beyond another 3D "walking around" simulator.

Maybe it's one of those technologies that needs a breakthrough moment, or to reach critical mass to where mainstream adoption starts occurring. Because right now it feels very "really? We're trying to make this happen again?" to me.




Actually because of the way your brain and body are linked: a 3D "walking around" simulator, (while sitting stationary) is currently the worst possible VR experience.

The best, is piloting a machine - car, plane, etc. You're in a seat, like your real body is.

You're waiting for the: experiencing a X-Wing in motion while in a dog fight destroying TIE fighters over Jakku, R2-D2 beeping in your ears demo.

If you get the chance try Eve Valkyrie on a DK2. It is one of the closest, currently existing, demos to the one I described above.
