I can see VR being as essential as a monitor in a few years time, The experience is just amazing and you can do things in VR not possible on a flat 2D monitor, Not to mention the sense of scale and presence, It's fantastic.
First time I put on the CV1 I about passed out, Not from fright, But from sheer joy, My dream of flying in space in a massive cruiseer, Elite Dangerous, Was as close to becoming reality as I would ever have.
