Im really not impressed with the whole concept. Yeah it’s probably a necessary step towards an actually simulated reality but wearing a clunky headgear while running into my living room walls is just not appealing at all to me.
It strikes me as a mostly non-technical problem. As a method of interfacing with computers/games it just doesn’t offer anything that useful and runs into a lot of practical problems that won’t magically get better with faster processors or smarter software.
I like it for stationary games, such as flight and racing sims, or rhythm games like beat saber. The ones where you do a bit of walking around tend to result in finding walls and furniture too quickly.
