Also, the new Snapdragon processor/SoC has improved motion tracking latency for VR..
- Not sure how the landscape's developing where 120Hz refresh rates are concerned, but once they've got that down (and cheap) this shit's going to go bananas.detritus
- i think the accessible price point on this is importantscarabin
- the lenovo i meanscarabin
- Apparently I meant 240Hz.detritus
- VR's in a good position in that a lot of the underlying tech is the same as phones, so if VR remains niche for a while, it'll still benefit from mass industrydetritus
- = much cheapness on the near horizondetritus
- ^ that's my own personal meme from a shop that used to be (still is) in Gibraltar..

The current state of VR sucks. I went to a thing a few weeks ago and tried Oculus and Google Cardboard. It's essentially strapping a fucking cellphone to your face.
The resolution sucks and I felt nauseous afterwards. Really needs to improve at a rapid rate.
- Cardboard is literally strapping a cellphone to your face, so that's a bit of a poor comparison. Which version Oculus did you try?detritus
- Given how inherent the limitations are, I was quite impressed by my Cardboard experience, but I know that's not the end-game, by a very long shot...detritus
- ...it was intended, from the off, to be a quick and dirty means to try the general experience and perhaps play with some basic dev.detritus
- I didn't know there were different versions of Oculus. I tried whatever they had at the Beta event I attended...sorry don't know more than thatsublocked

Hoping Magic Leap is going to be lightyears ahead of both of those options.

AR rather VR but cool...

You could watch a recent episode of 'Click' on the BBC which has a wonderfully-encouraging use of AR by NASA, to help teams working on the likes of Mars rovers and such.

Where VR's concerned - someone here made a great comment that made me stop in my tracks and think deep for a while, in relation to this video..
Something along the lines of "Raves in the future are going to be amazing".
I don't think I'd ever really considered that sort of level of social VR interaction in a closed space. And yes, raves in the future are going to be fucking mental. As too might just common or garden daily life.
- Yeah that's why I was asking that question about the space travel and VR :) anyways NMS is amazing with vive :Dsted
- Oh you bastard, don't! I've a Vive on my list, but i've a lot else to buy beforehand, annoyingly.detritus
- I didn't eat for 3 months to buy it. Just kidding :) arrived a week ago but I am still not sure if it was worth it to be honest... i have to get a better gpu.sted
