Then you’ve never experienced how transformative VR is and you lack vision.
- notyourwork 5y agoTransformative, can you be more specific? The "lack of vision" seems like an attack more than a justification that VR is something beyond a gimmick.
- rezbull 5y agoSounds similar to what crypto fanatics say.
- mypalmike 5y agoSome of us saw the last wave of VR hype. It was around the same time as PalmOS, iPaq, and other handheld computing devices. It wasn't obvious to most people at the time that one of these technologies would transform the world. But visionaries saw it. It wasn't VR then and it won't be now. VR has gained a foothold in this wave in its niches of gaming, other "entertainment", and random educational and military applications. General casual use beyond that is a pipe dream.
- Karsteski 5y agoYou're very confident in thinking you know the future.
- mypalmike 5y agoThat's because I'm a time traveler. I'm living in the future (of the last hype cycle). Strapping on a VR helmet is the opposite of everything most people want to do with their faces, their bodies, their lives. Contact lens form factor AR, if it ever arrives, could change the equation wrt human nature.
- notyourwork 5y ago> General casual use beyond that is a pipe dream. I'm happy to be proven wrong but this is my perspective as well. I just cannot imagine us delving so far into VR that is transcends beyond physical space. I mean at what point does that idea become dystopian enough that people decide to go outside and take a breath of fresh air, feel the grass, see and hear the planet?
