However, the industry was moving to LCD monitors and more powerful laptops and the shutter glasses technology didn't keep up.

The problem wasn't so much that the shutter glasses technology didn't keep up... it was the refresh rate of the LCD monitors when they first came out. You can now purchase monitors that would work with the shutter glasses, but the software for them is so old that it likely would be difficult to get them to work with newer operating systems.

If it was not for my interest in flight simulators I am not sure that I would have much incentive to participate in other VR experiences.

I don't even think it was the refresh rates, it's that they needed to interlace the two eye videos. LCD screens didn't use interlace technologies; that was a CRT thing.

Some of that old software still works on my laptop, but with anaglyph images.
