My example - Kinect/Wii Remote versus wired gloves - was to counter the "no interest" arguments.
Of course there was little interest when technology was in its experimental stage: buggy, limited, unwieldy, outrageously expensive (you could buy a brand new computer for the price of VR Helmet 20 years ago). But by now the electronics evolved and are faster, lighter & cheaper - this factor changes the customers' interest level, even if the concept had been tried before (with poor results). First cars were inferior to horse carriages, but after their performance was greatly improved they became mainstream...
Personally I have little tolerance for new gadgets, I'm very stubborn when it comes to control scheme (remember when I was seeking for an old keyboard model?), I'm not into this new "video gaming is physical exercise" fad.
