HTC's Vive VR Headset Put Me On Mount Everest, and I Was Terrified

The Vive is the only VR setup I've tried immersive enough to trigger my incredible fear of heights during a demo at CES 2016.

    So will VR headsets end up being used more for high immersion 3D content viewing than gaming, thus making the smart phone with high storage capacity and networking more functional. Don't bother staring at a tiny screen, link in multiple head sets, disable or even completely avoid the motion sensors and away you all go (get rid of those sensors and simply use a hand control to look around in immersive 3D environments, you could even just use the sensors in the phone). Keep in mind when it comes to sitting back and relaxing you do not want to be twitching you head about or even lying in, in bed, your really do want you head resting in place and your neck completely relaxed and looking about by lightly flexing your mostly resting hand eww if you thinking about your hand doing other things.
