Oh no, I agree, I was just pointing out how terrible and stupid it was way back when it was supposed to be the 'next big thing'.
I do see obstacles though.
The one I tried was one of those big arcadey type games. I had the helmet thing on and they gave me some kind of controller thing to use for shooting or whatever the game was about. The problem was that I ended up with the cable from the helmet wrapped all around me and a serious case of dizzyness as my body tried to decide if it was actually moving or not. One of the more impressive pieces of the technology was how you would move your head and have a second of lag before the visuals updated themselves. I'm surprised they didn't hand you a barf bag as they strapped you in.
