Unfortunately not, we use it to sell stuff. We use it to take money from people who are selling stuff and convince them it will help them sell better. (Marketing!)

Not that bad, they're in a decent place. The bare minimum line has been crossed. Every 2 years there will be a better screen, people with money will get it. That is driven by phones, and there will be a point where we just don't need a 6k resolution to be mass produced on a 5 inch screen.

Content creation is a loving mess and outisde of games will always be trailing behind. the Nokia ozo is 60k and before it hit the market it can't even hit half the native resolution of current vr headsets. We rented one and i cannot underestimate how awful the footage ftom it looks. lovely held together by duct tape go pro setups run like 30k for proper 3d, and still look blurry on a gear vr.

If you're producing video content for VR you're doing it wrong.

Anything that isn't a fully realized 3D scene is garbage in VR.

We arent, we just had the chance to use one. Some film rental place we've used to get cameras from bought it and wanted to use a place we had access to in their promo for it. They let us have it for 2k for the day and we were set to be the first commercial job using it, they had a pr agency on standby excited for all the rental revenue it was going to make them... then we called them back and told them it was poo poo and we wouldn't be doing the job.

Room scale with objects in the room that link to what you see in vr is the proper way (we got fans that kick in when you step out onto a terrace and scents and poo poo), but our quick and dirty still image vr is making the most money right now. We can kick those out in a few days and make a decent profit, the room scale starts way higher and we've only delivered one job so far.

For the price of the VR system you could just hire a better prostitute.

It looks nice and practical and all that... but I don't understand what it actually DOES? When you move around the movement is registered by your headset. If you spin around standing up with your headset and if you spin around sitting down on a swivel chair, the same movement information is being relayed via your headset, isn't it? So what does this chair really do, apart from being a nice chair to swivel around on? I could just put some furniture wheels under a large upside-down bucket and have the same thing, couldn't I? The video talks about how it's all connected and poo poo, but I don't see any point in that. Aren't they basically manufacturing a hi-tech plastic bucket here? I don't get it?

Advances in haptic technology (specifically teledildonics/cyberdildonics) combined with VR advances will mean that people will be able to experience the sensation of sex via technology alone and without the need for another person. 50 years from now there'll be a huge number of nerds who would never dream of trying to have sex with an actual organic human being with all their bodily fluids and smells and weird sounds because that's much more effort and much less satisfying and much much grosser than :nws: virtual robot sex. :nws:

It's pretty much a hands free joystick which allows you to 'walk' around the VR environment. The other hands free options were pads and omnidirectional treadmills which are just awkward:
