These are some excellent points, It really is the equivalent of 2d > 3d (including that tingly feeling you may have gotten going from playing SNES/SEGA games to N64/PS1.)
To get it all out there, I'd never tried anything VR before getting my Vive, so when it arrived my immediate thoughts were
- it's a bit uncomfortable due to it's weight/size
- GAH! the resolution, isn't quite as sharp as I was expecting.
- Is it hot in here? (seriously it starts to get hot moving around with this thing on)
However, if you ever get the chance to try out VR, do it!
It feels like being able to step into another place just by putting the headset on. It makes you feel like a little kid again, after playing The Lab, and playing with the little robo dog, I really wanted a pokemon farm game or something, to interact with/feed/pet/play with pokemon, you almost forget you're interacting with virtual objects at times and you start to feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I'm sure with the advent of the second or third gen of VR we'll really start to see it pick up as cost will likely drop a bit and resolution/quality/content will certainly grow.
