When I was a kid the movie Lawnmowerman got me hooked to the VR hype of the time (1993), then in 2013 I read the book Ready Player one that restarted it and got me to buy an Oculus Rift dk2 a year later.
Finally the movie is coming out and it’s gonna bring the VR hype back to the masses 
Indeed Tron was way too immersive lol
Short lived & truly perhaps not that good.

And many more greats. This company also did Transformers Beastwars/beasties series as well.
Yeah forgot about Tron LOL, but actually I associated VR with HMDs specifically after The Lawnmower Man, even though I had to wait until 1995 to try my first one (Forte VFX-1).
Back to RPO, there should be 8 SteamVR experiences coming out this month for free, can’t wait to try them!
That’s awesome. I hear you though movies like Lawnmowerman actually used an hmd lol.
Though William Shatner’s TekWar series fits as well. & in a way one could say Avatar.
Just finished watching it, I can say for sure Spielberg has outdone himself, this is THE movie the will bring back VR to the masses, go watch it now!
