Thoughts on virtual reality?

More companies are starting to make their own headsets now, and prices are slowly dropping down to purchasable amounts. We may finally be approaching .hack!

In my opinion, I think it could be dangerous. Some people might put it on and never take it off. Like me.

What do you think?

*swings walking cane* It's just a fad! 3
Meh 6
I'm never taking it off 6

    I think there are already enough people out there who spend way too much of their life behind a screen. Soon it's going to be even more realistic and intense?
    Plant them on shelves in a huge warehouse with their VR and hook them up to feeding and excrement tubes.
    The human race will cease to exist!

      (OP here)

      Hey now, I still exist! Happiness is happiness, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm existing behind a screen.

        Since reproduction in VR is unlikely, humans will soon cease to exist.

          It would be good to weed out all the losers.

          Nah, there are a lot of people who legitimately don't like video games or anything of the sort. They would stick with the Augmented Reality thing, if that. No need to worry about humanity.

    Coincidentally just two days ago a friend told me about Steam VR... that just recently launched and is the only other VR besides oculus rift (?)

    I'm looking forward to it for sure. I'm also waiting for the day someone creates a VR movie where the viewer has a "fly on the wall" perspective and is a muted character. VR, along with something like the omni treadmill will make for a terrific horror game me thinks.

      I saw a preview a long time ago but never watched it. Can you give me a nutshell?
