Do you really think anyone here cares about this? We will only care about the Big Ten if we get invited.
This is the future of sports viewing. I recently acquired an Oculus Rift and the experience is amazing. One of their demonstration clips is of LeBron James driving at you and dunking. I tried to foul him but he blew right thru my arm. It's new technology and not cheap, but that should improve rapidly.
I wonder how much the headset costs?
I think it'll be a blip like 3D televisions were - think of all that you do when you watch a game. You're not going to sit there for three hours with something strapped to your head.
99.90% of us will try it once, think it's cool and then never do it again.
Most of VR's consumer appeal will be gaming.
You're probably not wrong. VR is probably better suited for gaming - agree there. It also would force you into watching one game at a time and for losers like me who run up to 2 or 3 stream devices at a time, that is no bueno.
With the "right" game, VR might be really cool...as long as we can all agree NEVER to VR any UConn FB game in the near future. I don't want to be any more "in" the action than I am already.
