Same here, I've already sent an email regarding a refund. I had big dreams for this company, it just feels wrong. I'm not happy to see theses conglomerates grow uncontrolled, sucking up the spirit of innovation and openness that are so critical to our future.
- 72deluxe 13y agoNot trying to be argumentative, but is a VR helmet really critical to our future? Is it on the same level as food and poverty and peace?
- thenomad 13y agoTechnological advancements have a funny way of producing important side-benefits. A change as massive as VR - we simply don't know how big a deal it is. For example, as one of the smaller potential side-effects, imagine VR became good enough that there was no practical reason to have people travel for face-to-face meetings. That would have a significant knock-on effect (closing on single-digit percentile worldwide) on carbon emissions, global warming, and potentially catastrophic climate change.
- 72deluxe 13y agoTeleconferencing is currently very possible, including video to video or voice to voice, but this hasn't stopped people travelling around. I am not so sure that VR will suddenly be the thing to take off in this regard; if people aren't happy sat in front of a camera for a meeting, will they be happy wearing a headset?
