You don't have to be Owl-Man to turn your head a bit.. ;)
VR is awesome for everything. Even Words With Friends, Tetris and Flappy Bird. I'm not even kidding! It might feel like overkill, but 2D games can be played as if you are sitting in a theatre playing it on a massive screen. It means you can choose your focal length, rather than squinting at a tiny screen at arm's length. It could lead to less eyesight problems due to excessive monitor work..
I hear you, I can't wait!
