No point

Really, just what is the point of all this VR/AR stuff for the average user? Gamers, sure thing. Professionals (architects, medical etc), yeah, I get it. For the average person - not a chance in hell. They will not spend this type of cash on something that would be consigned to collect dust after a brief few minutes (that's after they've bumped into everything in their lounge, broken the TV and trod on the cat in the process). Then they'll feel sick, throw up and never touch it again.

Sorry, but this is not the next big thing. I got my brief fix with a £5 Google cardboard device last year. Moderately interesting for half an hour, but I haven't touched it since. I don't mind as I didn't spend much on it, but how they expect people to spend between £300-£500 plus hand controllers is plain delusional.
