The most cited myth is that you have underestimated the capacity of Virtual Reality just as people had underrated the adoption rate of computers.
There is no doubt that VR is going to succeed and dominate the human society with the unimaginative scale. However, it still requires several decades of improvement.
Nowadays while we are analyzing the prospects of VR, it is meaningful to focus on its development in 20 years.
Concerning about the Oculus Rift, its high value caused a high price. An expensive price is leading to the marginalization in the market. However, the technology, cost and popularity are not serious and fundamental problems for VR itself. As time goes on, the price of a VR equipment will decrease and become acceptable. But there are still some VR issues that are not related to technology maturity existed.
The most fearful problem that VR games faced is that VR’s control manners are almost incompatible with current games’ control styles.
One of the most core game types of 3D is First Person Shooting Games. However, there is a strange and artificial setting in normal FPS games. The direction of forward motion and direction of aiming are unitive. In other words, the head of a character in the game is always fixed forward. The mouse or the right controller are giving considerations to veering functions of the head and the body in reality world. This kind of design wouldn’t cause any problems in flat panel display age. However, while we are doing VR display, the dimensionality of the head rotation becomes independent. This can result in entire incompatibility in reality world. As a matter of fact, every kind of game type’s control is all having the same wrong settings so far.
