I haven't used the new ones, but I have an Oculus Go. I think the most important part is fitting. I believe there are companies selling accessories to make it more comfortable to wear, and I'd totally invest in that if I planned to use it more, or in a different setting.
I'm using it for porn (and it's amazing, VR porn is the most underrated thing imho, but maybe I'm just weird) and for movies (non-3d, having these slightly-3d-movies didn't really add to the experience for me). I'm someone who can't concentrate on movies on a normal screen, my attention wanders and I'll quit watching and do something else, continue later etc and it might take me three days to complete a single movie. Not so while using the Oculus Go, I'm cut off from the world around me, focused on the movie, and now I sometimes watch a movie in one sitting (though I do rarely watch movies these days, so idk how much this is worth).
I don't know if I want to spend any time "socializing" through it, but when I was sick I've definitely used it for 6-7 hours on one day to watch multiple movies, and it was fine.
The fact that VR content is gated behind major companies concerned with brand safety is a major reason to be skeptical about current VR tech ever taking off. If it were more like the early internet where any passionate and reasonably technical person could make widely available apps and content, I think VR would be much more interesting. Porn is one of the most obvious genres, but also just having a bunch of weird niche content and experimental games would be really cool.
Living in a bland Facebook controlled world overseen by Zuckerberg the God is about as enticing as filing my taxes on a daily cadence.
Watching movies seems like a different application of the tech. Doesn't that just simulate a movie screen several feet in front of you? That's probably not quite as sickness inducing as moving around a full VR environment.
Yes. I mean, if you want to, you can also have a simulated empty cinema around the screen.
I've never felt sick while using it, but I've also only played very few games on it, and those weren't action packed with lots of moving about, but more simple and relaxed.
