    It'll create new types of games and experiences but won't impact what we consider gaming right now.

    Current attempts at trying to take, say, a traditional FPS, and translate it to VR, aren't going to be very successful but it's all going to be part of the learning curve developers are going to need to go through. For instance there are things that we do in current video games that just aren't going to translate well to VR. Going back to the FPS example, being able to hold a gun up in front of you for hours on end, while you're physically running around just isn't going to work.

    For adventure gamers who want to immerse into the world of the game, it'll be a step up that surpasses 3DTV. From the headset options I have seen we're getting close to good VR, but they seem to have a limited FOV, need to fill in the peripheral view, the resolution needs to reack 4K while maintaining fluid FPS. It's a rapidly growing field of engineering now, I wouldn't count it out.

    If you mean the rift, gear vr, and PlayStation vr, then probably not much. I still think it's a fad that will eventually go away.

    How is vr that much different than playing a game on tv. You block the ambient stuff with the vr but that's about it. In the end you're still looking at a screen. You're still not moving in real life. Sound is still the same if you have a surround sound system.
