Virtual Reality

I have a friend who got Star Trek: Bridge Crew and loves it. It's a VR game where you are one of four crew on the bridge of a Starfleet vessel. Available on all 3 major platforms (Playstation 4, Vive, and Oculus Rift).
The game is intended to be multiplayer with a player at each of the captain, tactical, engineer, and helm positions. You can play single player as the captain with AI flunkies at the other stations. There is a short campaign, a series of standalone missions, and set of missions on the original Enterprise ("1701, no bloody A, B, C, or D"). The 1701 is much harder because you don't have "modern" holographic controls and displays but instead have to work the old-style switches you see in the original series.
Soooo.. I bought a VR for my Playstation. And I like it. And my wife likes it too, but happens to be allergic to the rubber light shield so that's a bummer. Looking for a temp solution until somebody makes a silicone version.
Sony just announced new several VR games at E3, among them a VR version of Skyrim. One of the other platforms is getting Fallout 4. So, serious games rather than overhyped tech demos. Developers are still feeling their way around the VR space but I think it's got a solid foothold this time. Sony alone has sold over a million PSVR units.
What do you guys think? Anybody got a VR setup?
