How many of you will get a VR Headset in the next 5 - 10 years?

I plan on getting on in exactly 6.4 years.

I have no idea. Right now I have zero interest. I was interested initially, but i'd likely wait.

No go for me as of right now. I like Google Glass though, but not sure if i would get one.

I've been eyeing 2023, but 2024 might be a good year as well.

Money is already set aside. But the VR wars are gonna be brutal, still need the software end of the things to persuade me it's a worthy investment.

Unless it vastly improves the gameplay of Smash, Mario Kart, or Pokemon, I really don't care about VR.

I will get one for sure when it becomes more affordable

I will not get one. I am just not interested in vr in any way, shape or form.

5-10 years is a long ass time to predict on something like that.

Agreed. Unless Captain Toad 2 is VR only. Then I'm on board.

I'll see myself getting a Morpheus like a year or two after it comes out.

Thats if it like $100... if its $200, nope.

I'm getting first good consumer one. Be it Oculous or Valve's one. No matter.

I'll definitely get one for PC yes. As long as the games support it of course (mod support will do if it's solid).

Depending on the price of both the headset and the rig, i'll probably have to get one just play the GOAT Star Citizen

Not going to get one.

I would rather see how it pans out.

Unlikely to get one.

I have zero interest in the next decade to purchase goggles to strap to my face.

I feel zero excitement and I know the genres are limited for this tech (first person view).

There's really no point to these VR headsets. At least not for the genres I like to play.

Where is the option for already having one?

Depends on pricing really, some games would be cool to have them

It will all depend on the price of Sony's VR... if reasonably priced will get

first person pokemon would be cool?

lol Captain Toad 2

This...

Going to pre-order Vive and Hololens as soon as the ability to do so becomes available.

Not interested in the VR headsets, slightly interested in MS AR Hololens but I know it will be expensive and don't know if it will be worth it or enhance my experience so for now just keeping and eye out on it all.

Not me.

I don't care if it costs $2000 I will save up for one and get one.

2021 is when ill make my splash into VR

i always wanted to return to the virtual boy that seems like a good time

Both the cost to get the most out of it and the need for tailored gaming experiences, means I am unlikely to jump on board. I don't see where the game support will come from, sure any game could work on it but that will just be the equivalent of a big TV on your face. I have no interest in that.

I think that watching TV on more or less the same kind of set that our grandparents had is lame. Sure, 1080p is nice and 4K is pretty, but it's still the same static flat screen at the end of the day. It's time for something new. I am all in on VR as both a gaming format and for entertainment. The time has come.

Meh. Someone will put a forward facing camera on a VR helmet from a cell phone and it will be game over for hololens. That tech is just far too easy to replace.

i'll think about getting one.

The perfect audio addition to VR (wear headphones)

I'd get one now if they released an official version, but I'm not getting a developer model.

I can definitely see myself getting a VR headset within 10 years.

i want to have fun not get car sick pass

kinda lost interest when i close my eyes and start moving around

I made me feel a bit uneasy,

lighthouse can fix it, but then i need a vr room, like the size of a football field when i want to run and stuff.

I definitely will. Can't wait

I may pick up a VR headset for the PS5 (or whatever the hell MS calls their next apology-box), but I haven't heard shit on price and the PS4 already struggles to output 1080p 60fps.

I don't really care about the framerate as along as it's stable, but I don't want to be staring at jaggies that are an inch away from my eyeball.

I think console VR tech really needs about 1 more generation to really deliver the goods.

Even without VR that binaural stuff sounds incredible in games when done intelligently. Bit like 3DS 3D effects can be great in spots.

I don't want to play a game with a helmet on...

Will flop just like 3D flopped, they are only aiming this at 10% of the market that have more money than sense.

In five years I'd imagine I'll have purchased more than one headset unless the whole market implodes into oblivion.

The first gen headsets look very capable, but I expect the tech to improve significantly in five years, and I'll upgrade to newer versions when I see a big enough improvement available.

I'm up in the air about getting either Oculus or Steams if it actually sees the light of day. Probably whichever comes first unless the choice becomes more obvious in time. I'm also waiting to see if Morpheus will work with Sony's Vita replacement. For long plane flights it would be great to VR out with a pair of noise dampening headphones.

@Shewgenja: Yeah I'm in much the same boat. I'm glad to see Valve getting in on the bandwagon, but I don't want to grab a headset until I see Final Oculus and compare. And from the way Oculus has been talking recently, that's not gonna be this year :(. Once the Rift and Vive are both out I'll snap one up almost immediately.

As for Morpheus, well let's just say it's gonna be a tough sell for me to grab a second headset so close to the beginning of VR when content will be slim. Now if it worked well with a handheld that could be a selling point, but while I love my Vita, I'm not so sure there's gonna be a Vita 2. :P

Yeah, I hear you there. Although, I guess there's always the hope that miniPCs take off and then you have the mobility factor with Oculus or Vive.

IMHO, people are really underestimating VR at this point in time. All Apple has to do is announce an iVR and this debate over it's relevance is doneskie.

@Shewgenja: Yeah, it seems people here underestimate VR, but SW is always a bit backwards and notoriously slow to get with the times. We still have people trying to argue digitally distributed games are automatically something less than a retail game years after Steam made retail an afterthought on PC.

Don't know, it's very early days. As far as I'm concerned, they're demo tech until they prove otherwise. First they have to come out, then I'll give them a year or two to see how they turn out and how they're supported.

After buying into the current gen with consoles, I'm never going to rush in and buy any hardware ever again.

Looks like Occulus will cost more than $200. That means a no go for me. I would rather spend that money on a new GPU.

Meanwhile Facebook purchase of Occulus looks to go beyond more than gaming according to Mark Zuckerberg. Makes sense, I could see it being in a wide variety of applications.
