I'm sure it really is fun but I just can't get over how dumb I would look to others.. It would have to be a locked room with no windows. XD

lol, i remember motion vr about 10-15 years ago, you looked dumb as hell, cost a lot to even try it, but no one cared, and this was in an arcade with 50+ people all watching you. I dont know what happened but everyone is so concerned with how they look to other people now. I say this as someone who wears full headphones where ever I go, flip the people who make fun of you off and go on with your day because if 'oh no, i look stupid' is going to hold you back, why live.

with that said, a pc to run vr costs around 1000-1500$, vr costs 300-800$ how much will each one of these things cost? considering they seem to carry the weight of at least 150 lbs, they cant be plastic, they cant be cheap... these will likely fall into the to niche to own catagory.

I would be interested to see how much motion sickness it would give people. Personally I'm a clutz and would probably end up falling off and breaking my nose or twisting and ankle

Vr has come a long way..
