I think VR is dead. Bear with me, here is why. So every year I attend CES, and every year at CES I have noticed that the giant South Hall bottom end is filled with technology that ends up dead in 12-18 months. Three years ago it was health and lifestyle devices like fitbit, just tons and tons of pedometer type crap. Two years it was full of home automation, no one seems to give a shit about NEST type stuff anymore. Last year it was full of drones. This year it was packed with VR, AR, and drones. Just hundreds of booths of shitty VR devices, "experiences", AR rando stuff, drones of all shapes and sizes including air, water, bugs, and some combos of AR and drones.
Most of the VR headsets have now graduated to more AR style ala google glass, wireless with a sort of glass wraparound in the front with an inset that is an actual OLED type screen, sometimes one sometimes two. Not at all seamless but I guess less awkward than Rift/Vive. Not impressed at all though.
The things that got me most excited were the new OLED TVs from LG, nothing revolutionary but better quality than 2016 models. Same with Samsung TVs, the top end 77" is literally a few pieces of paper thick. Also the new lineup of Samsung monitors for PC/console gaming are all great, freesync/gsync, 144hz refresh rates, very low input lag, only bummer was so many were 1080p instead of 4k. Some of the drones were fucking amazing especially the one you can "throw" and it'll follow you around like a dog
Oh the drones that were licensing Star Wars and looked like tie fighters, X-Wings, and other star wars stuff was kinda cool too but $199 so too cheap to be good and too expensive to be cheap
