Greg Linden is betting against mass adoption of VR:
So, Daniel and I have another bet: “Virtual reality hardware (not counting cardboard) will not sell more than 10M units/year worldwide before March 2019.” I’m saying it won’t. Daniel says it will. Loser donates $100 to the winner’s choice of charity.
I’m with Greg on this one. There are plenty of interesting individual applications for VR, but their numbers will be small and specialized. At least for the next few years.
