I can see consumer VR having a couple killer apps that could make it (maybe) worth it. The first is walking through driving trips. It’s extremely helpful when going to a new city to be able to walk through your route to get a better feel for what it looks like, how the lanes are laid out, etc.
The second is doing 3D design work. Give me a simple way to scan my house and then let me see what it looks like if I knock a wall out, or move the furniture around. I haven’t found a way to do this easily yet, but it should be fairly straightforward considering how the Quest’s boundary cameras work.
But, yeah, beyond some beat saber or super hot are fun but ultimately not worth it. (And I got mine for free.)
