stop trying to make Oculus Rift a thing

  Upvoted for the Mean Girls reference. Oculus Rift is going to be a real thing, though, whether we like it or not.

    Just wait until you can sit behind your computer and develop stuff on a beautiful beach, and use a big screen, all embedded into the VR world. It would sure beat the crap out of my current desktop backdrop, which is mostly covered by windows anyway :)

      Just wait until you walk into the family room in 5 years and each person is on his own headset doing his own thing. I love the immersion, but you need to retain a sense of shared experience that we have already lost with time shifting/binge watching.

    Oculus Rift's founder said that Virtual Desktop use of the Rift is "not a focus for us right now" in a Reddit AMA yesterday - https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3zt7ul/i_am_palmer_luckey_founder_of_oculus_and_designer/cyozccm https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3zt7ul/i_am_palmer_lu... Followed by a comment saying web browsing in a Virtual Desktop style environment on the Rift isn't very good, and can't be due to screen resolution limitations.

      That is unfortunate. But good to know, thanks.
