I bought a DK2 to play with it and get a "sample" experience. I'd buy in a second if there were a killer app, whether that be some sort of communication platform or big game. Thus far it strikes me as a gaming peripheral first and foremost, with the problem that nobody will spend big money to develop a big game for it because the platform isn't big enough. Think the Playstation Move controller - lots of promise for the technology but not enough sell through to get people to use it for much other than a gimmick to an existing game.

This is why I wish they would stop focusing on games. Looking at the Vive and Rift websites the #1 thing they're looking to sell people with is games. Why not utilities? Why not COMMUNITIES?

I wish they would make a big push for something that could expand our ability to meet with other people virtually. Why not a MUCK where you can speak with and interact with other people in a virtual space? It seems like there is so much more potential for self expression and interaction than people are building right now. AltspaceVR and Playstation Home were examples of this, but really doesn't bring a whole lot to the table that you couldn't get in any other MMO game.

If someone is making something like this and you need a backend or web developer, drop me a line :)
