Chess.com available in VR

VR for a fantasy game I understand. VR for simulators like flying an airplane or driving a racecar I understand...

I don't want to sound obvious and rain on your parade, but how is chess going to be top of the VR market? We have better than VR chess...we have in-person chess tournaments in real life!

If VR becomes much more popular, I suspect it will be in bringing some of those otherwise unreachable things into something we can experience. I can experience a "3D" chess game without VR; I'll just get a real chess set.

Sorry to awaken an old thread, but take a look at this:
VRChessClub - Chess Club - Chess.com

This looks awesome! I've actually played in this chess world before but I was hoping there'd be some sort of chess world integrated with chess.com so I could play with non-VR people

lol

Yes, chess in person is better in many ways, but requires that people travel and gather to play. Chess in VR gives you an amazing experience where you can play people from anywhere in the world, at any time. Simple games like Chess.com are also awesome, especially for people who are very busy... playing a move every 3 days allows me to play every day instead of just once a month. Playing in VR takes that to a higher level and gives a face-to-face feel, much more personal, with people I will never meet in person. It is an amazing way for busy people to be more social.
