I won't touch VR/AR until the technology progresses to the point where its nealry indistinguishable from regular sunglasses/eye-glasses.
I have yet to use any VR device that made me want to purchase it, its all felt insanely gimmicky, so far the only time a headset seems nice is on a plane ride.
I can see the potential, still seems a long way off imo.
- zooq_ai 2y agoFeel sorry that you feel that way. There are many experiences (especially ball games that require hand/eye co-ordination) that has made my game / fitness / skill improve at least 80% with very minimal amount of time I spent (compared to real world training). If you are into Fitness, nothing like training in VR for literally no money (compared to Gym / personal trainer)
- PaulHoule 2y agoIf "cool" people insist on only wearing Ray Bans that will keep VR fun. It will keep VRChat safe for furries, kemonomini and animekin.
- trendoid 2y agoAny recommendations of games or apps that helped you most?
- zooq_ai 2y agopersonally Cricket and Table Tennis. But, you could also pick Baseball, Golf, and Boxing. Cricket, TT and Golf have none of the subscription bullshit.
- drdaeman 2y agoTypically frames are made very light, so they won't make too much pressure on one's ears and nose. Unless someone runs a fiber to a frame, then keep the rest in a backpack or belt bag or something, I doubt it's physically possible to pack all the necessary additional hardware keeping it nearly indistinguishable from a frame without it.
- PaulHoule 2y agoThat CPU or battery puck for Apple Vision Pro, Magic Leap, and some others is a real killjoy. It makes it certain you won't be using fitness apps.
- drdaeman 2y agoI'm skeptical about working out with a headset, at all. There are probably some good use cases, but I'm just mentally going through the stuff I'm doing at a gym, and I think that typically a headset would be either a hazard or a gimmick of questionable usefulness.
- slfnflctd 2y agoI've found some great cardio apps on the Quest and they're one of the top things I go back for.
- echoangle 2y agoCan you share the apps? I’m very happy with Thrill of the fight and pistol whip but I’m always looking for more.
- PaulHoule 2y agoTry Supernatural. It’s like a dance, boxing, or martial arts workout. My VR lab is a little small and has slanted ceilings so I have to be careful not to hit the tips of my fingertips but it is a real workout that is reasonably safe.
- bluescrn 2y agoBattery tech is likely to prevent that within our lifetimes, even if the displays and electronics can be miniaturised to that level.
