>even though it is technically wrong.
Pretty much everything in this space is incorrect on some level. People casually call the Oculus "VR" when its just a HMD. The VR is going to be the software that works with the HMD. This is like calling a joystick a game.
Personally, I like the hologram branding. Its like the Star Trek holodeck, which invokes a really neat sense of futurism.
- woodman 12y ago> People casually call the Oculus "VR"... What people? Things I've never heard anybody say: "Can you hand me my Oculus air quotes VR?" "Dude, I spilled deer urine all over my Oculus virtual reality!" I can imagine a northern european saying it in english, but those guys kind of sound like lolcats anyway: "Sven, can I has Oculus virtual reality?" Personally, I dislike the hologram branding - yet another corruption to spread confusion. I understand the motive, I just don't like it.
