My ex wife is pretty much the same.
Altough her ipd is so small that she just can't feel comfortable with HMD.
Fortunately women are not the majority. But I am still pretty sure, that if there's Johnny Depp or Harrison Ford in the scene, they will suddenly find HMDs quite appealing. I think the crucial thing for the success of VR is high quality content, and that means high quality story telling in new environment.
If real actors could be merged seamlessly into Octane rendered scenes, that would be the Holy Grail in my opinion. LightStage for example is too heavy solution. Even for a bigger budget production. It needs to be, lets say, four cameras and depth sensors that cross capture the actors in the middle. Something simple. High speed laser scans, quantum mechanics.. I don't know. But if Oculus has two
billion dollars budget, I think it is fair to expect something new. Oculus could send a probe to mars and back with that money. .
