I love my vive but VR isn't quite ready for prime time yet. It's clunky and overpriced and there's a limited library.
It feels like we're in the "Palm pilot" stage of the technology. Eventually an "iPhone" will come out, but there are technical and UI hurdles to overcome before that can happen.
That being said, it's also an exciting time to get involved. VR owners get to experiment with different play styles and UIs and be part of a small dedicated community. Game devs hang out on /r/vive and accept feedback and ideas. And if you already know how to code, getting started in VR development is pretty easy.
- andybak 10y agoYep. If you've got an ounce of "early adopter" in you then it's a fantastic time to be involved. There's tons of great content if you're prepared for the odd rough edge and the lack of decent curation.
- pvg 10y agoThat sounds more like the Newton. The Palm pilot was a massive success - a smaller, cheaper PDA that wasn't just for gadget nerds.
- stale2002 10y agoThe VR technology is honestly very good right now, if we are talking about the actual hardware. What we don't have yet is content. We need 1 company to put out a triple A game, and it will hit mainstream.
