VR is Officially Mainstream (??)

Moments ago during the NBA playoffs, I just saw this commercial on prime TV:

First of all, that commercial is badass. Second... yeah, I think this confirms the Mainstream nature of the VR Industry.

I've tried kangaroo, but didn't really like it. Crocodile isn't bad. Shark is pretty damn nice. Camel burgers are good too.

Cassowary:

The moral of the story, if an ostrich uses a GearVR, then an emu would be a CV1 fan (just look at the intelligence in it's eyes!).
And a cassowary is too busy kicking people to death to bother with VR. Although it might enjoy Superhot.

I love that the Cassowary is (clearly) a huge Horror VR fan.

I think I saw this particular Cassowary in the Seance app that released in the Oculus store last week 😮

Cassowary's look like a peacock and an emu dropped acid and had a baby, then it was raised by velociraptors.

The advert is a good start, there needs to be more, a lot more. The trouble is nothing is going to let people know what VR is like until they actually try it for themselves. I remember when the major satellite broadcaster in the UK (Sky) was advertising the fact they were now streaming HD content. This was at a time when the majority of people didn't have a HD TV, so were watching the advert on an SD TV. Over the course of about 18 months you could see Sky struggling with how to get that message across when they couldn't actually show them what it was like. It's the same problem now for VR. The adverts will get people talking, but it's up to us owners to be willing to actively promote to family, friends and neighbours, and open our doors to let them try it out for themselves. I do it as much as I can and I have generated sales from people who have had that 'oh wow' moment, followed by how much and where from. Actually it would be nice if Oculus offered an incentive scheme for owners who generate a referral that leads to a sale.

I've seen so many shows reference the Oculus Rift.

Like, any of you guys Mystery Science Theater fans?  Checked out the new season (with the new cast)?   They make an Oculus Rift joke like, once per episode.  Either one of the show's writers is obsessed with VR or somebody at Facebook paid them to do some name-dropping, lol.
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.
