VR is awesome, but strapping a cell phone to your face with magnifying lenses is stupid. The technology needs to progress beyond this paradigm to ever be successful. Even the high end “real vr” HMD’s are just a cellphone strapped to your face. Perhaps once solid state optical waveguides are a thing we will see mass adoption. But the current gen is extremely lackluster and frankly useless once the initial wow factor wears off.
- fzeroracer 9y agoSaying that VR headsets are cellphones strapped to your face is just flatly wrong. There is a lot of work poured into VR when you start talking about room-scale plus intuitive control solutions. I would far from say that it is extremely lackluster considering what I've experienced and worked with thus far.
- tvon 9y agoI believe they are referring to those Android VR headsets like "Gear VR" by Samsung.
