   Are they using X1 ? https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/x1/ For efficient graph DBs it's better to have a lot of ram and cores ...

    Solving the vergence-accommodation conflict, as described by Kevin Kelly, is a big leap for AR/VR/MR. If they succeed in delivering, it will be huge. Hence the bet made by the investors.

    You make a point: SocialVR is not yet a success, I still believe it will. However, actual systems for realtime communication with "random" people have the merits of existing but are less than perfect. - Reddit: not realtime, you p

    Yes, I understand is not so easy to meet new people in the real world. But look, check your facebook friends, where have you met them? How many online? I am curious: how do you meet people online ? Can you describe how it works ? What socia

    Thanks for yours comments/questions. Peter Thiel in Zero to One asks "What Do You Know Is True That No One Else Agrees Upon?" Actually facebook et al. only imagine SocialVR with rooms. But rooms are a fiasco. Do you remember

    Woaw. Many ideas at once. Gaming needs game designers and investors (am I wrong?). Will they come on a totally new concept? Maybe the risk is too high... An yes, I agree with you: that's the hard question. A VW what for ?

    The OSX and linux versions are still buggy and crashing: It's time consuming to maintain several versions of the software for different platforms. I definitively want to move to webGL...

    Yes. And what's cool with a mirror world is that it will continue to enhance as sensors will continue to provide more and more precise data from more places. The coverage and the spatiotemporal resolution will grow with time...
