Experience new worlds
Don’t just play. Live the game.
From the moment you slip on PlayStation VR, the new Virtual Reality system for PlayStation 4, you’ll experience games in an entirely new way. You’ll be at the centre of the action, living every detail of extraordinary new worlds – and you’ll feel like you’re actually inside the game.
Never standing still
PlayStation innovation
PlayStation has always delivered experiences beyond our imagination, from 3D gaming to augmented reality. That heritage takes a leap forward with PS VR. Now, you can step beyond the screen and climb into the game.
Play it, live it
Feel like you’re really there
You’ve played games that have made you lose track of time. But what about games that make you forget where you are? That’s what PS VR will do, immersing you in the game with an unparalleled sense of presence.

Nothing wrong with either tech. It's all the negativity from people like you that puts off other people from purchasing and expanding the user base.
Both 3D and VR just need to naturally progress and improve over the next 10 years and they'll be exceptional experiences. But both are already perfectly enjoyable right now.

Seems like VR is to gaming what 3D is to TV. Pointless and will be dropped as a flop.

VR is great but its just too low resolution, you really need 4k per eye at 90fps and the latest games to really get immersed. Seeing as the very latest most expensive gaming graphics card cant handle a single eye at 4k/60fps, we will be waiting at least ten years until this become to the average consumer at anything near a reasonable price.

Speaking of 'biting point' I'm playing Resident Evil on it at the moment.
It's scaring the living sh*te out of me. You won't be disappointed!

Will get one when they fix the HDR pass-through fiasco

Yes it's annoying. I use the HDMI Coupler method when not using VR and quickly forget about the problems.
I tried a coupler a while back & it didn't work. I though that only the powered ones work.

Just bought a new 4K HDR TV and have run into this issue.
What a stupid oversight by Sony.
Might sell my VR and wait for a improved model

3D TVs were made for well over 5 years and 3D blu rays are still available for every major new release, not exactly a flop.

Couldn't agree more just another failure waiting to happen.

Nope, 3D TV sucked because it adds nothing to the narrative, it really couldn't have died fast enough for me.
I said that from day one, I loved being right and I love that they wasted millions on trying to push it.
On the other hand, 3D VR will be a persistent element in gaming from now on. It's not suitable for say Civ games, but for open sand box games it will be perfect.
I do think it's going to come in over several phases, right now it will run with a couple of killer games and we'll get an idea of the market.
Following from that companies are going to work out how to do visualisations of data and control processes, and then it will be a commodity business item. Imagine online shopping when you can pick up your item and look at it in 3D, or production planning with all the material and time constraints showing in real time in a 3D space.
Beyond that gamers are going to push for greater resolution, and it's here we are going to realise that the hardware demands are horrific both in display device physics and in computing power.
Eventually these will be overcome, maybe in stages, but as we approach a realistic reality then gaming is just going to transfer en-masse onto 3D (and the porn market coupled with a future AI is going to explode, and people are going to basically stop going outside)
