Reader Discussion: Will You Be A Day One Virtual Reality Early Adopter?

by Kyle Hilliard on Mar 01, 2015 at 09:50 AM

When the consumer versions of Oculus Rift, Vive, Morpheus, or any of the other virtual reality headsets launch, will you be first in line?

It will be expensive tech, and there won't be a whole lot of software available initially, but those same cons don't stop early adopters from being first in line for consoles, computers, phones, tablets, or other comparable consumer products. Are you excited enough about virtual reality and VR headsets to be one of the unofficial beta testers? Or do you plan on waiting to see the reaction and for the price to drop?

I've expressed my hesitancy over VR in the future, and despite the technology getting a lot better since I wrote this opinion piece in 2013, my thoughts haven't changed much. I am, however, excited to see what happens when the creative forces behind the technology deem it ready for mass consumption.
