I once demoed the VR goggles at Facebook HQ on a tour, my boss and I put on the glasses and were immersed in a world where there was a large dragon. We really roared with excitement and kept saying “wow, amazing” and shaking our head in astonishment as we took the headset off. Then, later we said our goodbyes and left. In the parking lot my boss and I turned to each other both agreed, that VR headset wasn’t that impressive at all, we just acted impressed to be polite. I think these VR headsets are built for the demo. How much daily demand they have is probably much more limited than the builders think it is. Also, prolonged use causes nausea in a large percentage of people.

> Also, prolonged use causes Nausea in large percentage of people. Supposedly Apple has been working off a patent that fights this specifically. Not arguing for or against whether this headset will slap (personally, I don't care for VR and think it's overrated) but just relaying some info.

Just lean into the nausea thing and make a very nice sailing simulator, I'm sure Larry Ellison would sponsor as long as there are F50 cats.

>Also, prolonged use causes nausea in a large percentage of people. There's an excellent video of John Carmack talking about this and how to solve it. This is much less of an issue now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHLpKzUxjGk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHLpKzUxjGk I agree with you though that there aren't any killer apps for VR/AR yet, and it remains to be seen if there will be any at all.
