Saying it’s just a screen on your face is an oversimplification. While that may be a somewhat accurate physical description, it doesn’t capture the actual experience, anymore than saying a smart phone is just a phone in your pocket.

I’ve had vr sets since the oculus dk2, and admit that I probably haven’t used it in over a year, because it’s a bit cumbersome, locks you into a single experience, removes you from your environment, and the relatively lower quality of applications that are available.

There are some really great immersive applications though such as subnautica, google earth, and elite dangerous.
