Yes, I agree totally here. In fact, I'll dub this "The Virtual
Fallacy." That is to say, the idea that people will want to waste
their time with slow 3d access methods when they could have instant
gratification through either keyword search or 2d Web GUI's.
Why do VR enthusiasts participate in The Virtual Fallacy? Because VR
is still a technology lacking purpose, in many respects, and the
venture capitalists haven't lost enough money on it yet to be
convinced that VR is a stupid way to approach many applications. When
3d is as fast as the 2d GUI's of today, then I'll believe otherwise.
Let's get on with the _important_ stuff: Art, Entertainment, etc. :-)
Cheers,
Brandon
