- selectodude 4y agoLots of people get car sick but nobody would say that the car isn't ready yet.
- ergocoder 4y agoI'd bet those people only use cars when needed. Nobody will go cruising on a puke machine. And we never need Oculus for anything. That's a big difference.
- fomine3 4y ago*for you.
- ergocoder 4y agofor most people, I'd posit. Very few people need oculus/VR, while a lot people need cars. Possibly a lot more like 10000x
- sleton38234234 4y agohonestly i want to know, what need is there for it? Why should i wear something on my head? what advantage does it have on computers/ handheld devices? what can i do on a VR headset that I can't already do on a computer or handheld device?
- tomrod 4y agoSounds like a difference in kind.
- tsimionescu 4y agoFirst of all, no one gets car sick while driving - already a major difference to VR. Secondly, most people who can get car sick can avoid it by sitting in the front row and looking only straight ahead. Finally, even for people who get hopelessly car sick as passengers no matter what they do, the advantage of a fast safe private ride often outweighs the discomfort - especially since no one is spending more than 1h in a car more often than a few times a year. It is very hard to imagine what application could make VR give even close to the amount of utility that cars give you.
