it’s not dying. it’s still the entry phase. the devices for VR are still too expensive for the average consumer. once prices inevitably become lower there will be a VR boom, just like xbox / Playstation.

3 Benefits of Virtual Reality:

• Training. In some sectors, VR is used to train employees, especially in dangerous environments. For example, pilots use simulators in case they make a mistake, and aspiring doctors take advantage of virtual reality to avoid medical accidents.
• Conferencing. Think Skype for Business on steroids.
• Convenience.

Nausea, dizziness, disorientation and a number of other motion-sickness related symptoms are common with many VR users and this is exacerbated by the nature of virtual reality: The player’s eyes tell their brain they are walking, while their body tells them that they are still.

There is no scientific evidence that Virtual Reality can provoke constant brain damage to adults and kids. There are only some symptoms such as dizziness, depression, and collapse that appear while the VR experience. The technology is still new and requires investigation and research.

If you already own a PS4 or PS5 and are looking to get into VR primarily for gaming — especially if you’re interested in high-end VR titles — the headset is still a decent recommendation. PSVR has some of VR’s best titles, many of which are exclusive to the headset.

The PlayStation 4 Pro bumped up the quality and resolution of PSVR graphics, making games look crisper and better on the headset. But with the PS5, you may not see quite as big a boost. Sony says that games will load faster and there could be some improvements in graphics in certain games.

Play supported PS VR games on your new PS5™ For the best PS VR experience on PS5 we recommend using a DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller. Selected games may require PlayStation®Move motion controllers or be compatible with the PlayStation®VR aim controller. The new HD camera for PS5 is not compatible with PS VR.

Valve Index The Valve Index boasts some of the best visuals of any mainstream, commercially available HMD, with a display resolution equaling the Vive Pro, Quest, and Odyssey+ but paired with a 120Hz refresh rate (up to 144Hz in a currently unsupported, experimental mode).

If you waited on motion controls until they were more established, if you like to wait to buy new tech until its more “tested”, if you are the type to hear lots of good reviews before buying, then No, do not buy a VR headset at this time.

You might think you’ve experienced VR, and you might have been pretty impressed. But over the next few years, in VR, as in all fields of technology, we’re going to see things that make what is cutting-edge today look like Space Invaders. …

But it is true that generally the graphics of VR games is inferior to the one of standard desktop games and the reasons are: Standard games have to render one frame at 25FPS; VR games have to render two frames (one per eye) at 90FPS. Frame drops in VR games mean motion sickness for the players.

Virtual reality’s positive influence on your brain In a virtual reality (VR) experience, for instance, you put on the goggles, and you can see an environment. “It makes your brain believe that you’re actually there by stimulating your visual senses,” adds Chris.

The Basics of How VR Works: The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating the vision. Every headset aims to perfect their approach to creating an immersive 3D environment. Each VR headset puts up a screen (or two – one for each eye) in front of eyes thus, eliminating any interaction with the real world.

By almost any metric, high-end headsets cost a lot. The Oculus Rift is $599, plus the still-unknown cost of its motion controllers. The HTC Vive is $799.
