Could you imagine your Facebook using parents and grandparents donning a VR headset and regularly interacting with the metaverse? I couldn't, not unless the technology improved dramatically to the point where the headset more closely resembled glasses than yuppie techno goggles. I can't see that happening anytime soon, which is a problem if they're trying to build something with mainstream appeal.
- hellweaver666 4y agoI'm 41 and grew up with access to technology every day of my life. I won't use VR for more than a few rounds of beatsaber. The only way I would use VR for more than shits and giggles is if it was integrated into my standard glasses with very little additional extra bulk/weight. I don't see that happening any time soon. I see AR having a much more useful and tangible impact on our lives. VR is a toy.
- saalweachter 4y agoIt's not the output, it's the input. To reach the scifi potential of VR, you need to be able to put on your VR headset, recline in a comfy chair, and then run and jump around a virtual world without moving your body. As long as you need a controller or to physically walk around your living room, it's a neat trick, but a limited one.
