Productivity use for VR is way more compelling to me than any game I’ve ever seen. Maybe that’s why it’s never taken off. We probably need to have an email client people want to use in VR and an IDE before we worry about gamers.
- georgewsinger 7y agoTotally agreed. Our project's "secret": most people think that the future of VR is in games & entertainment, but it's actually in office work. I never would have even purchased a VR headset had it not been for the promise to start working on a productivity environment. But before we can start building the killer VR office apps, we have to get the basic 2D apps working crisply/perfectly, IMO.
- gavinray 7y agoI came here to say this. Never in my life have I wanted a VR headset. I've used others' to play games (Beatsaber in particular is really fun) but I don't have time in my daily life to allow for a regular gaming habit or indulging that kind of money on it. In 2017, I had a conversation with a co-worker, where we talked about how badly we wanted a VR desktop environment with infinite screen-space. There's VRDesktop, but that isn't this. And then again the same conversation last year with another friend. After seeing the demo video, I was compelled to go look at Vive prices (~$1,000, ouch). I feel like my productivity would skyrocket with this, mostly due to lack of background distractions. Imagine wearing noise-cancelling headphones. I want this so bad.
