What? I don't see anything similar being said about phones. "What do you mean you don't use a phone? That must be hard."

Absolutely agree that VR is not mainstream and it is currently positioned as mostly nerdy thing. However, I am not in the business of convincing anybody. If something happens and you will be forced to use it, I am sorry in advance.

Isn't "seeing clearly" a value? Point being – even if you don't like the form factor it might give you an ability that you can't have any other way.

Yes, VR is TV on a nose, but it's here and can be bought. Neuralink is way more important tech, but it is years/decades away.

Yes, better comfort is necessary for using it whole day. I am guessing Apple's tight vertical integration will drive the weight down to 300g (and maybe a bit less), while distributing it evenly so the face doesn't get smashed.

> An AR/VR set isn't just goggles: it's a wearable computer plugged into your eyes, which are plugged into your brain. This is a powerful sentence and your whole comment nicely expresses why the tech is so important. Thank

So, you dislike wearing glasses, but use them anyway because they provide a value to you. Did I get that correctly? What if a head-mounted display would provide some value to you that you would not get in any other way?

Yes, this technique is called foveated rendering. You can further speed up ray tracing by reducing noise in renders that are produced by tracing a low number of rays per pixel. Another technique is realtime super sampling via machine learni

The first usable VR headset was HTC Vive in 2016. Over the last 5 years the tech got way better – larger FOV, higher pixel density, lighter optics, smaller form factor, and a good number of game titles. Gaming started it (remember Pong?), b

'Truly profound' comes from 'seeing software on tiny rectangle' vs. 'being in the software'. The full immersion is the true innovation here.

How many monitors do you use?

by mlajtos 5y ago
Yes, the high resolution display is always fixed in the center, it doesn't move according to your gaze. I can't really comment on the other thing you are proposing...

I don't know why but I was picturing you in all those scenarios with a pair of sun glasses because you sounds like badass.

5 hours was meant as a casual usage. Running a graphic-intensive game will be probably less. Fast charging with a dedicated stand would be a super nice thing.

What HW and SW are you using? I am guessing Virtual Desktop.

Pencil is from Cook-era Apple. Watch has a right direction now (health & fitness which goes hand-in-hand with VR), but ultimately it is just an accessory. As Pencil is. However, they have guts to call iPad Pro a computer (as in Mac sens

The best Tetris player has beaten his record in VR too. What conferencing software did you use? Horizon Workrooms?

We are primarily visual creatures – awful lot of our brain processing power is to do inverse graphics, i.e. looking and understanding what you see. Head mounted display is just another way to display stuff. We will still have recognizable G

I love real world, but my employer expects me to deliver stuff in a tiny rectangle sitting on my desk.

3D TVs were trash. Starring at a tiny rectangle with your head perfectly fixed to have a fake sense of depth was never going to fly. VR is immersive – you are in the environment and not starring at it through tiny rectangle. 3D TV is a subs

Pixel resolution of HMD without stating FOV is useless. Much better unit of comparison is pixels per 1 degree (PPD). Original HTC Vive (2016), which was basically the first gen VR product, was 9.81 PPD, current Vive 2 Pro (2021) is 20.4 PPD

What devices have you tried? Apple has a good track record for making their devices accessible for a lot of people.

Oculus Quest 1 and 2 are standalone VR headsets, which means that the single device is everything you need to play games. You don't need PC, but if you have it you can also use headset to play PCVR games through Steam – with wire or wi

It print the same error even for voices that I have downloaded. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

Does this use lower quality voice? $ say -v Samantha -o out.aiff "Hello World" $ open out.aiff

Yes, I agree. Only if we could have a thin syntactic sugar on top and start using algebra to compose stuff.
