Google not giving up on virtual reality, despite disappointing sales

There's been a lot of hype about virtual reality (VR) headsets for years, but now that they’ve actually hit the shops, it's become apparent that besides hardcore gamers, most people aren’t interested in investing upwards of a thousand dollars on these new virtual worlds. 

The Facebook-owned Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, the Sony Playstation VR, the Samsung Gear VR and the Google Daydream have hit the market – but sales have been disappointing for a technology that was tipped to be as revolutionary as the smartphone.
