Also, I'm sure VR will get mainstream... oooh, let's say sometime after the prize for a PSVR set drops below what I paid for my PS4...
Cell Phone VR, I think, will keep the concept alive. Most of us already own a cell phone and I'm seeing VR viewers at Walmart for under $20. There are lot of free Android apps for it.
I haven't tried things like Occulous but would love to do so. ITMT, so I can at least experience without selling my children for medical experiments, I bought a $50 unit that came with a remote and built in headset. It's good but for more like $100, I could have gotten one specifically for Samsung. Using it, I've stood on the set as they filmed "Rogue Squadron", walked the moon, done roller coasters, swam with sharks, and been through a very scary experience similar to Stephen Spielberg's "Poltergeist". It won't replace a regular gaming experience anytime soon but if you have a cell phone and $20 to spend, you should check it out. example experience:
