With a few notable exceptions, I haven’t been much into games since the '90s. Nonetheless, I think that’s the kind of storytelling that this tech is most suited to, where (as you indicate) the agency of the viewer is interactive. I do believe VR will eventually fulfill its promise of an interactive (not merely immersive) world. This may be a step. But back in the '90s there were stereoscopic headsets in the same price range as the Oculus Rift. head tracking is an important element, and I’ll be watching this tech with some interest, but there remains the chance that it’s another dead-end on the herky-jerky road to real VR.
