Hey apple, just hurry up and build a fucking car. Nobody wants to wear a massive headset around.
On the one hand, no one imagined a smartphone before Apple created a whole new market.
On the other hand, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Do we really need less in person human interaction right now?
Just other fun games. My son LOVES VR - heās had Oculus Go and both of the Quests (even started making his own game for the Quest). He doesnāt do any of the Metaverse stuff, just games, games, games, and has a blast. I play sometimes, too, and itās pretty awesome.
Starting at just $199,500.

This is the Quest destroyer theyāve been talking about for years? Holy shit.
I just dont see how you get normal people to use VR.
Itās for games and porn. Things you basically have to do in your own home, and normal people arenāt paying $1000+ for.

I can see normal people using augmented reality.
PokĆ©mon go was 7 years ago and there hasnāt been anything even slightly mainstream since.
Maybe it happens, but I dont see it consuming the general public
Not until itās as easy to put on and off as a couple of wireless earbuds.
Apple announced their ar platform today and itās truly amazing. Like seeing the future.
Holy lord, am I taller than he is???

I think itās as simple as tech nerds loving VR and normies thinking itās super fucking weird. Remember those stupid glasses google tried to sell?
That announcement will go down in history like the iPhone. Total game changer. 5 years from now these things will be everywhere. I have not been this impressed my a tech announcement in a decade. Itās a massive leap forward.
Iām down as a āmaybeā on this. Price is obviously going to have to come down a ton. And two hours of battery life isnāt gonna get it done. External battery pack is unwieldy, but better than making the thing on your face heavier.
But I think I do agree itāll become pretty prevalent at some point.
The Quest is pretty easy. Just put it on and tighten it. Itās wireless unless you want to play Steam VR games. But I see what you mean - these things will get smaller and smaller.

What are people going to use them for? In 90%+ of life situations, people can take out their iPhone and do something with it (even something helpful once in a while). What % of the time will people be able to use these things? I canāt carry it in my pocket and throw it on when Iām eating lunch. I just donāt get it.
DragonBall Z cosplay?
