< think the VR segment will also exist but there will be a big shift to AR because there are no huge technology hurdles> Does he mean people's aversion to wearing headsets to experience VR?

Re: VR
Ariella - I would certanly think that's in there. There's also concerns about bandwidth, and motion sickness etc., but the headset is an immediate no-no for some, before they even think about the experience. And its price is another constraint.

Re: VR
@Adi Yes, just having to add on another piece of equipment would be deter some people, and any unpleasant side-effects could put off others. I haven't tried it myself, but I know I'd rather skip the VR than feel sick from using it.

Re: VR
@ariella I'm phobic about people throwing up, so the motion-sickness factor is a deterrent for me from even being around VR demos. :-P
Just watching that commercial where people are using VR while riding on a train makes me anxious! LOL

Re: VR
@Adi I think the failure of 3D television speaks to the hurdle having to buy & wear additional equipment presents.
For example, the need for goggles creates a limitation when wanting to invite people over to watch a game or concert, since you can only include as many people as there are goggles.

Re: VR
This is an excellent point. I think with 3D TVs though, another problem was that there was not enough value offered for the increased price. I think that exact reason is why people are watching VR/AR so closely is that it could be another big tech bust if there is not enough value added in the short run.

Re: VR
faryl - that's an imp[ortant point that surprisingly doesn;t get mentioned a whole lot. Coming together to watch sporting events is a common event so every family needs to have "guest headsets" for visitors....at several hundred a pop, I can't see that becomiong a widespread practice.
