Going to have to disagree with you there. The most compelling use case for VR is porn. The most compelling cover story for buying a device for porn will be games.
AFAICT the most prolific and reliably deployed cardboard (previous gen VR) experiences ended up being porn.

- cpncrunch 3y agoPorn will never work. See the Dara Obriain skit for a hilarious explanation why.
- numpad0 3y agoOh it's already working. People who aren't compatible with 3DCG stuff goes to those.
- cpncrunch 3y agoI didn't mean it won't work technically (of course it will). This is what I was referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8srG_iKh5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8srG_iKh5Y
- numpad0 3y agoNo, it's not about whether it technically works, there are already businesses going for few years. Looks like there are such stereo fisheye rigs, with a pair of m4/3 cameras, a GoPro for preview? and a 3dio packaged to go on a crane. And seems they're transitioning to 8K? Interesting...
