Janessa Nichole White of VR Dribble offers the best summary of Virtual Reality to date.

She summarizes:

• VR revenue projections
• VR market demographics
• VR hardware sales
• Content that doesn’t work in VR
• Content that works in VR
• VR gadgets
• Privacy and data tracking in VR

Regarding content that works in VR, she lists:

• Stationary and interactive puzzle games
• Horror
• On-rails vehicle
• Using 1-to-1 motion controls
• Using head as a cursor
• Teleporting from place-to-place
• Travel and music experiences
• Social engagement
• 1st person story segments

She closes with:

“The vernacular hasn’t been created. There are many obstacles in building a VR game or story. The hardware still has room to improve. Despite all of the above, it sure is an exciting time to be alive.”

My take: if you think 360 is just a fad, check out Say Lou Lou‘s Blue on Blue music video for a perfect example of the plasticity of cinema — in four dimensions. It will blow your mind.
