The issue will be if the trend of gambling style psychological manipulation continues in games as they have in the few years. People have escaped to movies, books, tv, games ect. This will be no different as long as people respect and know the limitations, benefits and hazards of the tech, like anything else.

      Future generations will have big problems with being addicted to the digital worlds in their phones..., as their lives in the real world are unable to compete with the instant constant excitement of their digital "life" in their phones...!

        Why would we believe anything that a HTC exec would say?! They need to work on providing consistent, value based products again. HTC, lol

            Lop, no.

            Embedded machines are too weak for VR. They are good for console grade gaming, but they are not used even for that.

            Good VR on mobile chipsets is a pipedream. We have almost reach the silicon limit, for a few decades at least only in desktop would you be able to do VR.

            Unless you are of the casuals that like non immersive , basic graphics and sound from the 1990s. But if that is the case you do not need VR anyway, just play candtcrash.

            The end.

              VR Exec says VR will take off as soon as we have 5g access points every 500 feet.

              Good luck, bud.

                  Please stop 5G. We don't need it. 4G is more than enough. The present bandwidth speed only needs to be increased. 5G is cancerous.

                    Who cares, even 4G isnt fully spread around the world and they want to sell 5G like a revolucionary thing when it s only a obligated upgrade cause there is and will be more products connected to the internet and the carriers need more infrastructure to support them, that s the only reason of 5G !
