Speaking of a daily driver, in Seattle we already have a problem with people VRing while driving. At least it has really helped the homeless cope with the bleakness of their existence.
- GFischer 9y agoCould you elaborate? That sounds crazy! ("VRing while driving") Are there any news articles about that?
- finnh 9y agoNo, because GP was joking...
- GFischer 9y agoWhoosh! I guess :) . Thanks. Sometimes it's hard distinguishing what's reality from fiction in the U.S. from South America :) I could definitely see homeless people turning to a virtual world to avoid their dreary lives much as they turn to alcohol and drugs now...

- Splines 9y agoI've tried walking around with a GearVR on my face with the phone camera turned on, and the latency makes it non-trivial. There's no way I would even think about trying to drive with this thing on.
- wlesieutre 9y agoHey, if you were acclimated to it I bet VR headsets could make for better drivers. Put cameras around the car and give you a wider field of view, plus it's not obstructed by the frame. It could have a look-behind mode that swaps around 180 degrees to the rear camera array while you're in reverse. Better spatial awareness than a backup camera on a screen.
