   Here are some of my thoughts on your questions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9938332 Valve is solving walking into walls by showing you a holodeck-like barrier inside the headset, so something like that could work w

   I don't think you can solve that 100% with current mobile VR headsets, and any game that separates your in-game movement from your actual physical movement will cause some people to feel sick. I think developers are learning how to wor

   I'd love to see footage from the Space Station, but you're right I wouldn't watch it for more than a few minutes outside of a particular event. Events though I can definitely see spending real time inside of a headset just to

   Totally agree. We just shot some 360 footage of the Winnipeg Folk Festival ( http://www.winnipegfolkfestival.ca ) and I'm sure people are going to love this way of experiencing concerts, sports, you name it. We also just back

   Think longer term, when augmented reality advances sufficiently that it will look like the person is sitting right across from you. No loss of non-verbal communication, which is still pretty limited to a small field of view over FaceTime. V

   If you try to move around a lot in a non-positional tracking system like the Gear VR or in a 360 video, you might feel nauseous. But if you're sitting down and just looking around, generally developers are getting better at not making

    I'm a fan of the unscripted travel variety too (backpacking ftw!), although I'm also really into the idea of 360 video of things like short previews of festivals, some harder to get to places, just to get a sense of where I should

    That's correct. You're stuck as a fixed point, although you can still get a stereoscopic perspective. Companies like Lytro have started working on solutions to let you move your head around a little bit, but that's about the

    And if so, I can assure the consumer version is far and away better than the DK2, as is the HTC Vive. I haven't tried Oculus's motion controllers yet, but the Vive dev kit controllers are amazing already.

    Indeed. Originally people predicted it would arrive by last year's holiday season, now we're waiting for Q1 next year, and Q2 for their actual motion controlled input solution. That also makes me wonder how the first gen of sale

    Short term, I think the biggest industry use will be in training, and mainstream (outside of games) will be in 360 video for things like sports. Long term, I think AR will overtake VR but will only go mainstream when the tech miniaturizes e

    We were so cold last winter that we had to create our own virtual escape plan ;) Just happens to be where we're from, and it's actually a great city to live in with a very vibrant arts and indie dev community.

    This looks really easy to use! A tree mode would be awesome, where you can drag elements to be children of other elements as well as siblings.

    I've used it mainly on project-specific things, for example reaching out to musicians, indie labels, and festivals about a music-related service. Or reaching out to other developers/startups. It helps to follow and get to know the
