I've had my vive for over six months now and still play a couple times per week. I've lost interest in traditional games at this point.

I was going to say, I am 30 and have been an avid FPS PC master race gamer since I was 16 and in college, and since I have had the HTC Vive, its been only to play with friends I miss that I do any traditional gaming. Other than that, I am either working on my VR game, or playing/testing something in VR.

This is going to change everything from music production and video editing, to gaming and entertainment.

I think VR will be a big success in the coming years, but I doubt it will make many inroads into music production and video editing. I've actually done a lot of music production and video editing work and the practical resolution on these devices is just nowhere close to where it needs to be to be worthwhile vs a multi-monitor setup. Of course the technology will get better, but it's a long way off with many technical hurdles on the horizon before substantially higher resolution systems will be viable.

If you use VR to mimic a multi monitor setup, for sure.

But there are potentially new ways to organise media and interact with clips which VR allows.

I'm really interested to see what we can do in VR for video editing.
