3D TVs were trash. Starring at a tiny rectangle with your head perfectly fixed to have a fake sense of depth was never going to fly. VR is immersive – you are in the environment and not starring at it through tiny rectangle. 3D TV is a subset of VR – watching a stereoscopic movie in HMD is a bit better since you can have IMAX-like image size in your tiny living room.
You having a tiny living room was just my assumption/prediction. It might be wrong as everything I am saying.
- philjohn 5y agoThis - I played Vader Unleashed and at one point I was on a platform that was hovering hundreds of feet up and damn, I felt wary of looking over the edge. It's also led to much faster laptimes in my sim racing, you can judge breaking points much better and the proper depth just makes driving more realistic. Finally, I've done meetings in VR and found it to be less fatiguing, even with an HMD strapped to my face, than zoom.
- mlajtos 5y agoThe best Tetris player has beaten his record in VR too. What conferencing software did you use? Horizon Workrooms?
- philjohn 5y agoYes - it looks cartoonish at first, but you get over that quickly. The positional audio is on point as well.
- mlajtos 5y agoYep, the positional/spatial audio is godsend. Hearing people speak from different points in space, it is easier to track who is speaking. Also, branching of the main conversation to have a private "face-to-face" conversation.
