I'm aware. I use VR daily, for both work and play.

It's not new, though. Luckey's work was a revival, not a conjuring. There was a motion-tracked HMD in 1961, and Sutherland established more or less our modern take on it not long after.

The games and worlds, however, are new.

The games are less innovative now, on average, than they were during the first days of Oculus.

Aside from Boneworks, the trend is less interaction, rather than more.
