Believe it or not, virtual reality has been around

程度の副詞

And yet, it still feels like a random experiment

instead of the next mainstream video game.

of calling it the future, it'd be better, but it's not.

Virtual reality is an expensive commitment.

Right now the cost of entry for virtual reality

is around $400 or $500 once you factor in all the different

There are some new machines coming up, like the Oculus Quest

But overall, you're probably gonna be in the range of $500.

If you're looking for something super powerful

you're looking at least $1,000, if not more.

Most of these devices aren't something you can just plug

You have the Vive that can take a full room

You have the PlayStation VR which has extra cameras

and sensor bars, and even specific controllers for it.

And then even the Gear VR can burn up your phone's battery

Setting up a virtual reality experience on your own

And once you do finally figure out what games to play

or how else to use it, this isn't like your PS4 or Xbox

The VR headsets that are available right now

And spending too much time in virtual reality

can be disorienting, so wearing the headset

for more than half an hour can leave your head spinning

Right now Facebook is recommending that people

take a 10 to 15 minute break for every 30 minutes

That means, even if you wanna spend an hour

about 20 minutes of that will just be cooling off.

Not to mention, virtual reality is very platform specific.

If you purchase a game that requires the sensors

and controllers of the HTC Vive, for example,

you might not be able to carry it over to future technology.

Most of the games that we see in VR right now

are pretty basic compared to what you see on a video game

Even the best games that have been in VR,

so there's not much of a reason just to go to VR to play.

And games made for something like the PlayStation VR

won't be playable on other headsets and vice versa.

Right now almost any game you buy for one platform

to be a shared experience, which is another problem.

With a video game or a movie that you're really excited

about it's easy to bring that and share it with friends.

You're all seeing and experiencing the same thing.

you can be sitting with someone in the same room

and it just feels like you're worlds apart.

Companies like Facebook are working on programs

that will let you share virtual reality with friends,

but it's hard to see why that might beat out

We've seen things like VR arcades, VR escape rooms,

and even VR Ghostbusters that have been trying

But those require going somewhere and paying

an admission cost for a small 10 to 15 minute experience.

So what can VR platforms do to become more successful?

it needs to offer something that feels totally exclusive

or different ways to interact with your friends.
