"It seems like a lot of film directors are loath to embrace VR for the same reason that Roger Ebert famously dismissed video games as a form of art: They think it's a gimmick that punishes artistry in the name of the medium's requirements." 似乎很多电影导演不大愿意接受虚拟现实技术，究其原因，与罗杰·埃伯特（Roger Ebert）知名的拒将电子游戏视为一种艺术形式一样，他们认为这是一种噱头，借艺术表达形式需要的名义，来破坏艺术性。 — Alex McLevy, The A.V.
