> Oculus should put games on the back burner
To be fair Oculus are one of the ones in the industry looking beyond games. Look at Oculus Medium[1], it makes something that was extremely fiddly and required hours of practice into something instantly intuitive.
I don't actually think VR will hit the mainstream, work like spreadsheets just don't benefit much from being in 3D space. The true magic of VR is the hand tracking, being able to interact with computing with both hands in 3D space.

I've been trying to keep tabs on what's available on Steam and the Oculus Store: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xwqLF3CpYWxZ6kipzWGHaBn8rKPsptKxRCfHjVngxzA/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xwqLF3CpYWxZ6kipzWGH...
- nickthegreek 9y agoMedium is hands down the best 3d sculpting app that's on VR right now. I was also incredibly impressed with what mindshow was capable of.
- banderman 9y agoThere are a lot of potential medical applications that will benefit from VR. Inspecting 3D x-rays especially. Real estate virtual tours, interior design, architecture...
