> "Here to stay" doesn't say much. VR is as of now an extreme nieche

If we're comparing to 3d glasses for movies like the parent comment said then that is a huge difference. samsung is releasing an android headset this year this long into VR which they didn't do for 3dtv. this generation of VR has already lasted longer than 3D-tv 6 years.

There are space requirements for base stations, but it can be played for many hours in a chair or in bed. Not every experience requires a large room. Newer headsets are self-tracked so that's already been solved by new tech.

The bigscreen beyond 2 is 107g and can be worn for hours. Struggling to see how portability and versatility won't improve with new tech.
