Wait 'til the goggles use 4K or 8K displays. Thats the time I put money on the table.

The past two years I got absorbed by racing simulators, Assetto Corsa in the main, also Raceroom. Has completely knocked out flightsimming and tank simming. VR is perfectly made for this. You grab the wheel and have buttons on it you can use blindly, and no need to interact with anything more in the real world around you - when wearing the goggles, needing to see where your keyboard is and the wanted key, is a - well, its not so easy.

For racing, VR must be excellent once it really matured. Right now its overpriced imo. You must still add to the high costs the costs for a sufficient system if you happen to own one that is not new and top class already. Like with all new tech, prices for VR goggles will drop.

For the time being, 38" ultrawide displays. Easier to set up than triple screen displays. But again: beefier GPU needed.
