Ermm what?!"The market" is still buying kinect and similar products like it. Compared to other peripherals its still very successful. And there were 3 games this Christmas who's primary use was kinect. You are overblowing its so-called "failure" here.
Its not relegated to those experiences due to hardware. It's limited by software and VR will have that same challenge, even more so.
As you said kinect has some real world applications, yet its still a failure in your eyes. But somehow due to real world applications VR will change the world.
Honestly when kinect first came out, someone could have wrote this entire post about it allmost verbatim. But we still see where it ended up.
Kinect was astonishing for the vast majority of people who tried it the first time.
How is Kinect in anyway able to do any of the examples to the same quality as VR?
+ VR in the classroom: Oh wow, I really feel like im in this battlefield watching a war oh wait, im looking at my TV from my school desk.
+ VR conferencing: Its like we are in the same room ..oh wait, im still looking at my TV.
+ VR Sporting Events: Oh WOW, im part of the crowd at a sporting event ..oh wait, yet again im just sitting at home watching my TV.
+ VR in games: Fucking hell, im actually in a game, its so real and life like Fuck, im still just watching TV in my living room.
Some people need to really think these things out before posting.
