It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

The sad part is VR has excellent accessibility applications. I have a head-mounted magnifier that’s just a Samsung Gear headset and cheap phone with some gubbinz stuck on the side. (Let’s ignore the fact the magnifier costs $3000 when the components cost maybe $700-$K tops, but that’s assistive tech for ya). If VR really went mainstream It would help reduce the cost of the AT that relies on it.
Now if only we could find a mainstream market appeal for tiny piezoelectric crystals then braille displays could stop costing an arm and a leg.
