Heavy, expensive and cumbersome.

No, that is not very nice to write about the technology Virtual Reality (VR), as in these weeks ought to celebrate new victories on a level with them, as videotjenesten Zoom has had.

But neither the equipment or services has attracted the attention and the millions of customers, like Zoom is capable of. And it surprises me, frankly, not.

For if any technology in recent years has been at the top of the list of expensive disappointments, it is just the VR.

in Fact, the results are so poor that you can properly place virtual reality in the same category as 3D tv, which get bought, and no one got pleasure from.

Whether VR ends up on the giant graveyard for the obsolete and faulty electronics is, however, a little too early to say. My verdict on VR is primarily about them, we write for, which is the ordinary consumers.

Our advice: Hold on to the money

As mentioned, Sony one of the few on the VR market, as with their PlayStation VR has got some kind of grip on the technology.

Our advice is that you must be extremely dedicated to throw money after VR, there is a ’ticket’ with many rivets.

If just consumers have jumped on the bandwagon, it has instead been expensive and cumbersome. Several of the manufacturers are kept up to support the technology, while others are trying to limit the gigantic loss, as the development of the VR to nothing have brought.

So is mobile VR, in practice, a dead technology, and the pc version by, among others, HTC is economically and technically unattractive for most.

Thus, there are really only two scenarios left for VR games and social media. Sony leads in the playing area, while Facebook, via the Oculus keeps the focus on the social, but there is a long way to go.
