"First impression in a room full of people playing virtual reality games: these people look goofy, and the games they're playing look dull. Then you put on the headset.More at the link:
With the headset on, wow, some of them are so impressive! This is how it is with VR, and let's not pretend otherwise. These games do not show well unless you're playing them. Any apathy you have is completely reasonable, if you're a bystander may wondering if VR is just more manufactured hype like 3D TVs a few years ago.
The difference between watching a VR game on a monitor or in a trailer and actually playing it is often astounding. If you watch a trailer for a VR game or watch a live VR session as its graphics are output to a TV for spectators, you might as well be looking at a postcard for the Grand Canyon and not quite understanding how incredible it is to be there."
