It's such a huge knock on impact that braindead economists don't consider. It's a loving black hole anchor around the economy that contributes nothing. there is a minimum needed to live and function in society. rent/utilities + food + transit + healthcare/maintenance. that sets the floor if you want to hire and retain employees. and that number is too dang high.

I tried the ps5 VR headset and it was ok but I definitely felt head fatigue and some headache after using it.

The one cool thing I've seen VR used for outside of like geospatial viz stuff is someone got a Quest Pro working in pass through mode while working on their car. In their field of view while looking at the car they had three little pop up browser windows with a YouTube tutorial and a forum and a text document and he was using them to repair the car without having to look up. Pretty neat imo

Vr headsets are video game consoles when you boil it down so it's always funny when clueless suits think that somehow, this time, THEIR headset will be the one graphic designers use to do work in or whatever the gently caress they think people would want to use them for that isn't games or porn Like, there's a market, small but big enough to be worth it, and the dominant headset (quest 2) is pretty much exclusively for games despite zuccs best efforts and bought mainly for children at christmastime. Not a single human being on earth is using this thing for hours a day just for big monitors at work or something, it's asinine they keep chasing that goose.

The only interest I have in any type of VR headset is as an option to watch 3D movies, since I have a lot of them and a Sony 3D Tv that’s slowly giving up the ghost. But I picked up a PSVR on a good sale and am keeping my PS4 around specifically to use for 3D movie watching if I want.

Same with VR headsets. Wake me up when we have holosuits like Star trek

I think the bigger issue is the higher the resolution something is the more difficult/costly it is to stream to, at least I remember that being a thing when 4k came out

I still think it's funny that, in an effort to get third party developers to take risks and build for VisionOS, Apple partnered with Unity as the main way to make games for the headset right before Unity destroyed any trust and goodwill it had. Looking forward to seeing what headset Tim Sweeney comes up with ten years from now.

Glumwheels posted:Didn’t they try that already too and it failed? They must be running out of gimmicks to sell people or 8k is too far away still for mainstream. Nah, the most recent approach/attempt hasn’t gone mainstream, where the tvs and monitors have a camera on top that adjusts the screen output to where the viewers are, in addition to the screen having effectively two actual screens that provide a stereoscopic image. Cost and tech hurdles had made progress slow, but a few actual models that’ll go for sale debuted at CES recently and apparently the reviews were pretty good. Edit: The main benefit over the prior glasses approach is that you don’t need glasses, and if the content doesn’t support 3D, then it just reverts to standard mode without you really having to do anything. So no glasses off or on, etc. You also don’t have to turn the lights out since it’s using glasses-free stereoscopic.

when i was a kid they told me not to sit too close to the screen cuz it was bad for my eyes. now the most cutting edge consumer technology is a screen half an inch away from your eye

Still not convinced 3d TV is something I'd ever want. Like why would I want to make a movie look like a bunch of little distracting puppet people in a box. One of those things you'd ooo and aah over for ten minutes then it becomes grating.

It will never stop being hilarious to me when a VR application has a 2d screen rendered in it because it's objectively the best way to present most types of common information.

Truniht posted:In Pittsburgh have they lost their minds for reference you could get a two bedroom in San Francisco for this kind of money It's the same as how price increases at restaurants have made it such that it costs as much to get fast food as it does to just eat at what would have been in the past considered a nicer place. But not everyone has caught on to that yet so there's a bunch of outdated common wisdom still floating around. Prices across industries are normalizing at levels that just a few years ago were what would have been considered premium prices because the lower price levels have all elevated way faster than the higher price levels.

Pretty neat imo I feel like this might be a half way decent use case in, like, 0.001% of actual car repair or maintenance jobs. The majority of work I do on my car usually involves shoving my face in places where it barely fits or contorting into unholy positions or perhaps lying under the car with barely enough clearance above my head for my glasses. Also, I can't imagine wearing a headset for the duration of something like a six hour repair job even if you're doing all the work while standing comfortably above the engine bay. A cheap rear end $50 tablet that you can happily cover in oil and grime is a better solution in literally every way. Paradoxish has issued a correction as of 19:21 on Jan 30, 2024 |
