I believe the upcoming first person movie 'Hardcore Henry' is possibly a test bed for future VR movies

I'm always amazed by the fact that shooting people to death in games is somehow morally accepted.
I know it's just a game and those are just pixels, but it is the idea behind it.
This is what our kids do these days.

Video games are just that....games.

Not to be confused with toys though.
violent games have their place. they are cathartic, can allow for expression of antisocial aggression a person has pent up (better shoot pixel people than kick a dog), etc
I would say if your kids are teens, you should definitely let em get their shooting on...we all know how frustrating being a teen can be. the body is in full rebellion, you think you're an adult being treated like a kid, etc..

If she complains, just say "well, anything to tear them away from the endless VR porn they are consuming is a welcomed change.
that should get her on board

Cool gizmos but a gimmick in the end sadly, what we need is actual holography then we can have some fun!

I think it's sad and a bit hillarious that "kids these days" are are fawning over this technology when it isn't' anything new, revolutionary or amazing.
Is it very portable? No. Is it wireless? No.
Those concerns should have, and could have been addressed already.
I also find it curious that Apple hasn't indicated its interest in VR.
It tells me Apple is waiting for everyone else to spend the money advertising, informing and growing a demand before coming out with something of their own. Apple is good at letting other people spend money breaking ground before announcing their own product. Was there an MP3 player before the iPod? Sure, but the iPod was so much easier to use with large libraries of music.

Played with oculus and hololens and samsungs gear VR thingy, hololens was coolest but they all have one thing in common, they are not practical.

The VR headsets now should look like Geordi's visor from ST:TNG given how far miniaturization has come.

The problem is that it has to be worn. History has shown that if it's wearable, it will never grow above a small niche market.
