Virtual reality is undeniably cool, but it's going to take a lot more than that to make people shell out hundreds of dollars for VR headsets. This week, we saw a head-mounted display patent from Apple and heard more about Facebook's plans for Oculus, both of which hint at the potential of VR headsets. But patents and apps, as intriguing as they are, aren't proof that virtual reality is anywhere near ready for mass adoption.
