In about 5-10 years, googles will replace smartphones. Everyone will be wearing them during their waking hours.

The main issue right now is that VR headsets are too heavy and uncomfortable. Eventually, the tech will be good enough to render the hardware sufficiently lightweight enough to wear all day.

that's how it goes. tech is supposed to be awesome and liberating for early adopters, then there is an inflection point after which marketers ruin everything. the development of VR is screwed up right now because mega corps are trying to monetize too early

Same vibes as immersive in-car VR I guess
Meta announced they're already working on something like that in partnership with BMW

What's a good VR headset? Definitely nothing from Faceberg. I don't want my family to know when I'm playing hentai games.

[Anonymous No.55530366]

It seems like only low IQ tards like VR, because I guess they don't have the mental ability to immerse themselves with standard TV/monitor and without movement. Like when I put on VR is seems like just a bigger TV to me, except really uncomfortable and nauseating. And motion controls do nothing for me vs a controller. But then a mid will use it and have dramatic overreaction like thinking its real or losing spacial awareness. Personally I don't get it. I'd rather use a monitor and keyboard, way more comfortable and I don't need to hyper stimulus to enjoy content.

Meta wouldn't be the first company to do this, holoride in partnership with Audi already built VR headset for in-car use for over a year now

Look into Virt-a-Mate, which is the leading VR sex simulator. It opens a new world of sexual possibilities. For example, wrestle and fuck with tomboy Mila from DOA series. You can set the scene, choose from a huge library of models, change their clothes, body dimensions, and even tune the model's emotional state (my personal favorite is angry-horny).

>>55530366
The experience of AR/VR will eventually be superior to that of using a monitor. It is you who is potentially the low IQ retard for writing off this technology simply because it is still in the proof of concept stage. Apple Vision Pro might be the game changer.

[Anonymous No.55530419]

Haven't tried Vive Flow yet but I personally can't stand wearing my Quest 2 for more than ~30 minutes. My face and neck hurts just from thinking about it

The nausea goes away if you power through it for awhile, but that's a pretty big barrier I agree. I was close to vomiting after trying to play Resident Evil 4 VR with a hangover.

[Anonymous No.55530503]

The headset can be used with a variety of VR content, including games, movies, and educational experiences, and also includes a number of features that are designed to reduce motion sickness like motion-tracking system.

Meta has relented on that probably the competition is fuckin high, but holoride are kicking asses in all car brand and models

VR visual quality may be nominally "superior" in the same way 4k is superior to 1080p. Is it revolutionary? No. Its a marginal improvement. And that's ignoring having to wear some heavy ass contraption on your face, and lower quality audio because you usually have to use headphones rather than full speaker system with surround and bass that you can feel.

[Anonymous No.55530596]

It's important to listen to your body and take a break if you start feeling any discomfort.
I also remove it every 30 mins, thou some people wear it for longer periods of time, especially during trainings without experiencing any discomfort.

[Anonymous No.55530604]

>>55529574
People have been talking about vr for decades. And it's still kinda shit. I tried resident evil on the Sony vr headset when I was round at family's. Games shit. Headset gave me a headache / made me feeling motion sick (I've spent three weeks moving a boat before and been fine).

[Anonymous No.55530622]

>>55530546
Agreed that it is expected that the visual fidelity should be superior (we already are getting >4k VR displays from pimax) -- the next hurdles on the critical path of VR development are headset comfort (size and weight), followed by software development toolings. Also needed is a universal OS for VR. I don't want to use some gay globohomo interface like Meta Quest that locks me into using some avatar (absolutely unacceptable). Give me a real, full-powered OS that doesn't lock me down and force-feed me advertisements.

>>55530596
Thanks anon.

>>55530604
PSVR is kinda sucky, I heard PSVR2 is better. The tech is making improvements on a linear scale, I'm excited to see what Apple's offering will bring. $3500 should knock my socks off. I can't wait to nut with Apple coom tech

[Anonymous No.55530648]

>>55530604
Anon, I've seen that with Retrofit in cars that does not cause that. It must be unique then

[Anonymous No.55530659]

>>55530540
I don't think they relented
Apple is going to try to steal the spotlight from them when they launch their headset and Meta would want to do something new and different which is where VR in car comes in

[Anonymous No.55530680]

>>55530622
That's why think VR is just an alternative to TVs/monitors not a new medium for content. The same games or shows will be playable or viewable on a TV, monitor, or in a VR headset, and the VR headset is just a commodity. There is no reason why metamerves or VR chat or w/e can't just support both VR and monitors. These are essentially clones of social games from the early 2000s that are only hyped because they use VR and supposedly that's new and special.

[Anonymous No.55530748]

>>55530680
I think VR is beyond an alternative anon. With the quality of image rendering I'm getting in the HTC Vive while playing cloudbreakers cant be gotten on a monitor.

[Anonymous No.55530794]

>>55530503
The exciting thing for me is HTCvive making it compatible for use both in your car and at home

[Anonymous No.55530795]

So basically your purpose is to snag a Vision Pro headset inorder to nut hard with it.
That's really not it fr, peeps are outcha here unleashing a whole damn storm of productivity and mind-blowing edutainment for med students as holoride's got the sickest tech that takes it to the next level.

I think you're right, I've heard about Nreal Air Vr headset, but HTC vive flow is a perfect designed for use in cars, cos it uses the car's motion sensors to track users movement and adjust the VR experience accordingly.

The original oculus dev kit came out when I was in high school, i'm already 27 now and VR is still in it's infancy. I don't think it will reach any sort of mainstream appeal in our lifetimes desu

The only good thing here being that it'll create room for adoption cos they're big which will benefit smaller companies focusing on that niche

you are right Chad. They copied from Twitter and are also coping from Holoride. But I thing Holoride has already gone too far as their tech can function on all car brands and models.

VR is a gimmick. It has been a gimmick for 30 years. Every now and then there is a concerted effort to make it happen. Then it's forgotten altogether.
The fact that big tech is trying to push a 30 year old gimmick now, is a testament to the lack of creativity and boundary pushing in the market. This is a direct consequence of bringing in undereducated woke cattle into tech.
