Just like you, I was about to write a rather pessimistic comment about how obsolete this will be as soon as VR goes mainstream, but I hate being the nay sayer so I will just go along and assume this would be great as a cheaper "hybrid" alternative to join the fun?

Honestly, it does look like fun. But also like a lawsuit waiting to happen? Like a future source of broken noses and arms and what-have-you when people trip or run into walls. Which, that's fine, if that's a risk you choose to take. But I think "what could go wrong?" is justified.

I don't see why they couldn't add VR headsets once they gain traction. If they started out requiring hardware that was expensive and almost none had then it would be difficult to reach critical mass. It would be even better I'd they didn't need anything but a phone to get started.
