If I could replace my monitor with a portable device that would grant me huge virtual desktop space I would pay 3500$
Right now I'm waiting to see the feedback and for the early adopter issues to get ironed out.
But I'd say this demand is far greater than gaming. Being able to work from any rental where I can plop a keyboard and laptop without having to deal with bad desk height and non adjustable chair/lack of monitors is huge - it would literally mean I could work from anywhere.
Right now I can't - and I've tried many times. Experience is terrible and after a few days of bad desk/chair combo, even lugging a small 24inch monitor in the car, I get insane cramps/headaches from neck strain or back pain from bad posture.
If VR can solve this I know a lot of people would buy into that.

- moonchrome 3y agoLast time I tried was early oculus days and it wasn't even close. But it's been like 7 years at this point ? If Apple has decided to launch it I would assume they worked out the kinks. I'm not buying it until I see enough evidence it's usable (doubt I'll get to try it for 8 hours without buying one).
- marcus_holmes 3y agoI loved the idea of Oculus Vim But the practicality of not being able to see the people around me gave me the screaming heeby-jeebies. I just wasn't comfortable not knowing who was near me. I will happily have 3 monitors in realspace just so I can turn my head to see who's near me.
