I think if you'd fallen asleep 15 years ago and suddenly woken up today you'd feel the impact more acutely. Because it's crept in slowly I think we've become desensitised. And while I agree the fantstic promises of a headset that transports one from reality to virtual reality hasn't materialized ;o), a lot of the technology has been utilized by the entertainment industry in things like movies; have you been to an IMAX production/presentation lately? Wow. They make me puke (in a good way, if that's possible ;o)
