Unikely.. Kinda why VR also didnt get too popular, most players just prefer "classic" controls and not movement-controls.
But this is huge for VR and other usages of this, probably even useful for production routing, but i dont have any knowledge of that.
Personally I'm surprised that there are so few non-full-body-movement games. It's amazing to sit down and play whatever game in a completely different 3D world. Moss is a great platformer in VR, pinball games are really cool in VR, and driving sims with a wheel and pedals kick absolut ass in VR. I bet games like FIFA, NBA, NHL etc would be amazing, top down car games would be amazing etc etc.
It's just really difficult and expensive to make proper games for VR, and the market isn't quite there for it to be worth it. Lots of people still say Half Life Alyx is the only "full" VR game made by a popular company while a lot of PSVR titles felt like tech demos.
The only real way for vr to explode would be for already established companies to make vr controls for their games, I'm thinking service games specifically. Imagine roaming in ff14 or wow in VR. I would still do hardcore content with standard controllers but I would 100 percent roam around doing stuff in VR.
