>One perfect layer is vastly preferable. Ah, hello, every manager that has ever made a decision causing the problems people further up are grousing about. The point of defense in depth is there IS no "one perfect layer."

The added expenses of 3 kids and a stay at home spouse completely changes the financial situation you're describing as opposed to the other poster. 100k+ not split among 4 nonworking people goes way further!

The porn industry has already dumped an insane amount of money into VR and is presumably seeing quite a return, since the major players have only accelerated their pace of output. Just like with other technologies, porn companies have alrea

I think the usability of spatial controllers is pretty tightly linked to use of a VR viewer, since it's the HMD that constructs the "space" for the controllers to work in. I don't think Tilt Brush would translate well to

I mean "new" as in "newly practically accessible." CAVE wasn't exactly accessible to your average hacker hobbyist but anyone with a gaming computer and $800 has access to VR - and going forward, anyone with a solid

The 3D TV comparison is completely tired at this point. VR is a new form of HCI, not a questionably improved display technology. Besides that point, if you're only looking at VR as "games" you're missing the boat entirel

This has been considered before, but there's a significant risk that it would only drive up the value of "genuine" ivory. It could also make it harder to discredit the beliefs about ivory having special medicinal/magical

When I was in elementary school around 15 years ago and we covered nutrition, I remembered being very confused one year when our teacher was outright and honest about the ACTUAL literature on healthy eating, and then taught us the completel

As an agile surgeon, I focus on immediate deliverables - we can figure out how to restart the heart once we've iterated breaking the ribcage a few times.

You're spending at least $800 on any "flagship" phone, it just might be through your carrier contract. I agree, I often wonder why the hell this is supposed to be worth the money. It was not marketed as "not feeling ok a

Honestly, it's starting to feel like Android on a lot of devices is a joke, as far as the hardware experience. I've always been a passionate fan of the OS and anti-walled garden, but the daily frustrations of using my S6, a year

Absolutely right. The people here gleefully, cynically dismissing this as police stupidity would be demanding the police investigate even the smallest lead to help get justice for the murder of a loved one. If there's even a small chan

It's not really a platform switch. It's a merge of two cryengine forks. There's no point in starting a melodramatic flamewar when other people here are genuinely discussing the implications for CIG and Amazon.

Interesting, I am an nvidia owner but have read many times that AMD's software and drivers are much better now than they used to be. If that bit about the 480 is true that's appalling. It doesn't really surprise me the brand&

Is the 11ms latency really not bothersome? I'd be concerned about the input latency and the potential for frame rate drops from connection issues etc, especially over longer terms of use.
