It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

    I shit you not I know a University where they have AR (with haptic gloves, not just VR) headsets worth around 70k euro and nobody uses them.

    A student watched porn in class on one of them though, so I guess the taxpayer investment was worth it…

      Honestly, immersive video is hands down the best use of VR today in my opinion and like no one outside of porn is doing anything interesting with it.

      Dude had the right priorities.
