I swear I'm not paid by TechCrunch for this stuff: http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/11/from-disrupt-ny-to-a-43-mil... GroupMe started at the Disrupt Hackathon. But also startups don't just happen over

author here - totally get where you're coming from, but there's huge value in the social part as well. It's not to say I didn't do any coding at the hackathons I went to. But if I was going to immerse myself with other,

I'll definitely have to give that a read. Have you seen this Marc Kushner talk? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hha0NsYXS5c&feature=share Would love to hear what you think. He kind of argues that historical buildin

I think the browser will be powerful enough for some simple VR experiences that consumers will want to engage with for <5mins. At least at the beginning. I've been working with the webVR stuff and have gotten a consistent 75 fps on

that's awesome! Love the idea of letting people choose between an image, lower fidelity image, and V-Ray stream. Working on some web based VR stuff - would love to hear your thoughts: http://www.insitevr.com/

I disagree. I don't think AR is ready. Unless you want to type in what restaurant you're at so that your AR headset can give you that Yelp rating, I don't think we'll see what you're describing before VR hits the ma

I think this is part of the "hype" mentioned in the original comment. All the press seems to imply Magic Leap is creating a lightweight wearable capable of allowing someone to focus on different objects in a scene and with retina-

As an undergrad I found myself thinking similarly. Looking back, I definitely think I rushed some things and agree with most people in this thread. The stuff you described won't and shouldn't be taught in schools. You're ther
