PVs of the 20 minute VR marketing demo in action:

I want hentai, not sword art online.
Don’t do VR with crappy 3D graphics. Use Live2D.

IBM was extremely clear with their press about this that it was for experimental and research in to cloud computing and Watson reasons only. It’s great that such a huge and influential tech company is so in to this kind of concept at all – the extra ad revenue is just a boost to research funding for cloud computing and VR through IBM.
Who are the idiots who thought there was a VRMMO being made by a tech company and no game developer on board?
Called it ages ago. With our current technology, the closest to VRRPG is to use head mounted display and joystick and or motion sensor. Even Occulus rift are still priced too high for normal gamer to buy. It won’t go MMO anytime soon. Waiting game for us.
And if you were expecting a full-dive technology, the world may end first before we get one…
