Speak for yourself. I want solid VR and AR and everything past that. Why wouldn’t you?

- asdff 4y agoYou are going to have engineers using ten orders of magnitude more computational resources to open a text editor like they've been doing for 50 years. It's tech for the sake of tech until someone can come up with an actually novel use case that isn't just window dressing on stuff I can already do.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoIt also has a physical barrier that seems insurmountable - motion sickness-induced nausea. If even a small % of your users get nauseated when using it, the network effects fall apart completely. Zuck wants to use VR headsets for meetings, but what happens if one person can't use VR because it makes them nauseated? Do you continue the meeting without them, get them to switch to some hybrid Zoom/VR model, or drop the VR altogether? What if that person is a client, a senior exec, or a decision maker?
- paganel 4y agoNot the OP, but I personally find it a little creepy and more than dystopic. Also, I can pet my dog and even throw him a ball while writing comments on HN, but the VR thing will totally isolate me from him (and the AR thing won't bring anything new to the table, I already know my dog's name, don't need to see it labeled via AR). And even so, I try to limit the time I spent in front of my computer, glueing even more immersive computers to our faces won't do us any good.
