If you and I are on an airplane together, both sitting next to each other but virtually somewhere else, it could be compelling.
Currently my two (separated) parents and my two siblings each live in a different city. If all five of us could get together to watch a movie in VR and feel that presence, I think it would be pretty darn fun.
By the way — I'm all for real life, "touch grass" type of experiences too. Both can coexist.
- afavour 3y agoSure, I can buy the remote use case. But it’s still not going to replace my home theatre setup I use with people I live with.
- kepano 3y agoI agree, it probably won't replace my home theater setup either. But I wonder if you and I will not be the majority?
- Tagbert 3y agoIt could certainly replace mine if I had one. My husband doesn’t like to watch things on that kind of screen and we have very different tastes in viewing so we are generally watching things separately. Our together time is doing other things without screens. A virtual home theater sounds quite appealing.
- LegitShady 3y agoYou can already do that in VR. But it doesn't replace your home theater, which is the point I made.
- kepano 3y agoI guess we're talking over each other... what I was saying in my original post was: > As simple as it might look, the most compelling mass-market use case I saw from Apple is... watching a movie on an airplane. I don't think this use case is well addressed by the current hardware on the market, mainly due to resolution and optical aberration issues
