I also believe that it will be quite some time before people
wear the current brand of VR tech for any more than
experimental or games purposes. The current gear is just too
cumbersome. If you could get it down to a small head-up display
about the size of a pair of glasses then it might gain
acceptance.
Using more "conventional" tech. {/conventional {screen-type-display
keyboard-type-input pointer-type-input} def} even where the
display is 3-D, while good, may not be true VR. Most of the
xpeople whose view of VR is a Gibsonesk vision of Cyberspace
would insist that the VR must totaly replace the real world.
Thus the cumbersome helmet and gloves with tactile feedback are
OK, but direct connect would be better. Those of us whose dreams
are tempered by reality, would probably compromise.
For myself, I would like a hand-held tool, light enough to clip
on my belt, with a 3D projection display, lots of power and
ergomonics good enough to make it usable. Given such a tool, I
think that I wouldn't be too desperate to "jack in" to an all
encompassing VR
