Isn’t that the account lowtax was trying to help get verified? Is it really for the steak ums brand? I just find it weird that they frequently post stuff if that caliber of cynicism as anything other than a troll

Mr. Lobe posted:that said, I suspect VR is still an immature technology compared to what it will be like in a couple of decades yeah vr is right now where bideo james in general were in the early 90s, imo. rudimentary and limited most of the time, most games are made by a couple people in a garage office, and there's still a lot of experimentation with what works and what doesn't. and while it's mostly short and basic games, when everything comes together just right, poo poo owns so much. also, even without much room space, cockpit simulation games of all just kinds fit it so well, it's worth getting if you play those a lot imo. flight sims, racing, mechwarriors, etc. beat saber also only requires some space to stand in and seems to be the most popular vr game right now. in the next 5-10 years we could see some real cool poo poo coming down the pipeline as displays, graphics, and tracking tech/controllers get better, though. bob dobbs is dead posted:vr tam is poo poo, market growth is poo poo. it'll be there but it turns out they wanted a smartphone-sized market and got a headphone-sized market instead. they wanted smartphone-sized usage (~double digit hours a week) and got like an hour or two a week any rumours of facebook shuttering oculus yet? or are they too far down the sunk cost fallacy to do it? they're definitely one of the people who wanted this to be used by everyone everywhere all the time and then iphone 2.0 just doesn't want to happen, what a shocker. palmer is a piece of poo poo, but lmao he scammed zucc out of about 1.9b

Outrail posted:E: Has anyone ever calculated how much they earn per minute and just sat there watching a clock crank out the pennies while working? Yes. It was especially great comparing it to money raked in by the company, I knew exactly what they got per e-mail and call we answered, so I could pretty much precisely calculate the rate of exploitation. Not counting the admin work the department head pushed on us without extra pay (he couldn't figure figure it out), but I think that came back to bite him in the rear end, because poor instruction resulted in faulty tabulation and incorrect graphs and that poo poo was apparently presented to the board for months as if it had been his own work.

my take on vr is this: after HD tv was mandated and took off, tv manufacturers made bank selling everyone an upgrade from old rear end CRTs to new flatscreens. once everyone was upgraded, demand plummeted so they've been trying to come up with some other way sell cheap screens at huge profit. 3d tv, curved displays, most smart tvs failed to launch, but 4k and VR are seeming to stick a bit. but none of the hype or advancements in vr tech are demanded by consumers, it's all just an industry trying to recapture a one time event that got everyone to buy new tvs

it’s a tough solve because people don’t have for example a huge city or deep forest in their living room. Most games I’ve played will use teleportation to move the player around or have the player not really have to move a huge amount. Super Hot VR is extremely good as it is basically a series of murder vignettes in which you kill 3 or 4 enemies in different rooms. It’s more like a puzzle game but the solution is “throw cup at guys face - catch his gun in midair - shoot the guy next to you - shoot the guy over there” and when you pull it off flawlessly you feel like a ninja assassin.

Holographic computing like the Hololens is the real exciting one, as it basically means the end of being locked to a single static screen, but we're probably still the better part of a decade away from the concept being small and cheap enough to get any real traction.

Astro Bot is supposedly real good and a lot closer to what I thought VR would be like as a kid (as in, you're not the main character, you're just surrounded by the game world playing an otherwise completely normal videogame). However I'm not paying like, $600 to $800 for a PS4 and PSVR just to play Astro Bot and I don't think all that many people will

VR is pretty incredible already, and insanely practical and non gimmicky for a lot of tasks/games. I've done some work using photogrammetry to record and capture locations for posterity. Some of the VR modeling software turns the work of cleaning up the meshes into something that would be weeks of frustrating work with a mouse on a flat screen, into something I can do in an evening, with better results to boot. As far as games, VR has delivered, at least for me, the first instance of being wowed by a game in a way I haven't been since I was a little kid playing doom for the first time. Where it feels like the first truly new experience in 20 years.

to be fair, some people could be looking ahead to AR, since apart from displays not being see-through, the tech for VR is nearly identical, so dropping some money on this now and getting all the patents could be better than paying through the nose for that in 10 years. otoh, facebook/oculus really thought they'd move millions of units in the first year IIRC. millions of units of this thing that needs a 2x2 empty space in a room and a $1000 rig in most cases on top of the price of the thing which is already high. it was the equivalent of expecting wolf3d to move millions of 386 sales in 1992 imo. Frog Act posted:i'm getting a new computer that will be theoretically VR capable this week and I can't say I have even the faintest interest in it, since they don't seem to have worked out movement in a satisfying way yet there's tools that track your hands and/or feet and you can walk in place and move in the game now, and it feels good enough imo. outside of full BCI (if it ever even happens), it's about the closest we'll get to full body freedom I think.

Nah I mean, zuck is a weird awful robot, but at least on that front everyone at oculus and facebook was really vocal that it was a slow burn and not expected to take off this soon. Its all the 3rd party investment analysts that latched onto thinking it would sell millions out of the gate then were all writing about it being dead a year later, when they were the only ones expecting those kind of sales, lol. For most, even for oculus, its really about the research and solving problems right now. I for one love VR, and god drat it its the only part of the fictional cyberpunk dystopia we're going to actually get in our lame cyberpunk dystopia (besides the constant surveillance and poverty).

i tried out a vr headset over the weekend for the first time and while i was mildly impressed, it seemed like way too much work to get all the poo poo together. i do think the possibilities for actual therapy are pretty good. but as a consumer device it kinda fell flat for me. i def wouldn't buy one.

I make large scale abstract sculptures out of wood, and VR has been extremely helpful for me. I use a program called kodon to mock up ideas at the scale of my body without investing in a huge amount of wood blind, or devoting a month to a time consuming physical model, so I bought a vive. I realize that’s a pretty niche case tho and not what most consumers would want or need
