No. People want to lay on their own assess while watching TV. No one wants to get up and walk around a globe.

so 60" flatscreen TV that now takes up virtually no space would be a ~ 113,000 cubic inch monstrosity in your home. and 60" is relatively small TV nowadays, forget 80 or 90" sphere

Wouldn't occulus rift > Sphere? Or is there some kind of team viewing aspect that is super important not to exclude that I am missing?

When I first saw this thread, I figured it'd be about those cool new, movie theatre-style curved TV's I saw during Jesusmas shopping. But an orb? I don't even..
