Let's look at some data. The three VR platforms, the Oculus Rift is priced at US$599, the HTC Vive is priced at US$799 (BNM 6888), and the PS VR is priced at US$399 (starting at 2999 yuan). These are just the price of VR itself, they also need to be equipped with a high-end PC or PS4 game console. This calculation, the average player to experience the cost of VR is actually quite a lot.
Of course, we have other cheap options, such as the Samsung Gear VR is priced at 99 US dollars, Google Cardboard is cheaper, less than 50 US dollars, and even DIY, there are many domestic 50 yuan VR box. However, these VRs do not have a location tracking system and experience is poor. Therefore, if you want to get a better VR experience, then the choice of higher-priced VR currently seems inevitable.
Well, returning to our theme, is VR really too expensive to be popular?
Doctor Bambi:
It's hard to say whether high-end VR is worth it. Most people still don't see the potential of VR. We spend 500-700 dollars a year for a new mobile phone because we know what it will bring us and how we serve us. We understand its value. It would be a bit difficult for us to apply the same money to something we don't know much about its value. We haven't found the ideal price point for VR.
David:
It's too expensive, but now the high-end PC has become a mid-range PC after 3 years. At that time, the price of VR devices also began to decline. People update their computers about 3 to 5 years. The computer that is replaced after 3 years is equivalent to the current top computer. There is no problem playing VR, and it is not purchased separately for VR.
It's not non-high-end VR, but midrange has a good choice, such as Gear VR, or you can also choose Sony PS VR. If you are a PS4 user yourself, your VR cost is only 399 US dollars, not expensive.
I think the trend of VR and AR is unstoppable. When it's bad, it's only a matter of time.
People think that VR is expensive. This is because they think of VR as a video game peripheral. Even when they are viewed as a video playback device, it is certainly expensive. However, VR is also blamed. Currently, it can only be seen. Video and play some video games. Most people are not very willing to spend money on "toys", so VR needs to add more applications, can achieve more features, let people think that VR is a platform, not a toy.
Another problem is that tens of thousands of people are buying a $2,500 MacBook. These Apple users can certainly afford VR devices, but they won't feel that VR is expensive. However, MacBook configurations are not enough to support VR. Unless VR has more interesting applications, it can turn MB users to the Windows camp.
Patrick Down:
Not expensive, this depends on the object, is it expensive for the leisure game player or for the enterprise? For the enterprise, VR is not expensive at all, in the company's budget, unfortunately, VR is currently not helpful to the enterprise, Cannot be used as a productivity tool.
