Yeah I can't wait to spend €11000 so my family can strap a screen to each of our faces and watch movies like that rather than staring at a dumb old TV like some

Probably, in person, for the foreseeable future you'll just watch a movie IRL when people are in the same room, and that's fine and I like that. What this will allow is for you to watch a movie with your friends remotely in a way that is compelling. My gf and I were long distance for a few months. It was really hard, but being able to video chat every day really helped. Unfortunately, anything beyond that was difficult, like watching a movie, because the experience was awful. The closest we were able to do was use a browser extension that would sync our streams, and then have a chat box. With this, remotely, you guys can watch the same movie, chat, see each other, hear each other, still hear the movie, etc... Will it replace watching am movie IRL? Of course not, and it doesn't have to. I don't think they're trying to replace physical interactions, but they're making a great case for how we can augment and extend our virtual ones.

  Have you tried Bigscreen VR? State of the art to watch a movie together in VR

    That would require a bunch of my friends to have VR as well, while only one of them has it, because I gifted him my old Vive setup. I don't even think he installed it.

Movie addicts have $10k 8k 100 inch TVs and thousand dollar Dolby Atmos surround systems. Which is exactly why they will not buy one of these. It would literally be a downgrade. Movie lovers have better than non-IMAX quality setups.

  I have a great home theater that I love to use. But there are lots of times when it'd be nice to have a similar experience while in bed or traveling.
