   I tried VR and, as many others have said, it's a novelty that wears thin quickly.

   I'm amazed though at the amount of effort and corporate money that keeps being thrown at VR trying to make it a thing.

   It feels like, to the public, it's like some tired The Beverly Hillbillies re-run that keeps popping up from time to time.

      It's a novelty because you had to put on a big uncomfortable headset that required wires up until recently went was really fidgety. Once you get the form factor fixed and comfortable everything will change. This looks like a big step in that direction. Too bad I don't want Meta looking through my eyes.

         You could be right. But I also keep hearing that excuse (since the Jaron Lanier, power-glove VR days) so color me skeptical.
