The stationary headset could work though I think I'll wait for the technology to develop more before investing in any sort of VR gaming.
From what I've seen, the calibration involved in room-scale VR (with the Vive in particular) would make it pretty unlikely you'd ever go anywhere you don't want to while playing. The games adapt the playing space to fit the boundaries you define beforehand. It's pretty intuitive tech.
Stuff like the Rift and Playstation VR won't really be about the moving about the room stuff. Their functionality is more focused on the seated experience.
