Today● Everybody has a Rift or at least a cardboard.
● New generation of HMDs coming out soon.
● Customers are asking for VR
● CAVEs are still seen as expensive and they don't need to be.
● Only the buyer/customers have money. Builders kind of do. Architects are dirt poor.
● But the Architects have to be on your side or your dead.
