I don't know deep diving, I just want a standalone VR gaming headset that isn't owned by an invasive social-media corporation. Until I have something like that in my home, VR simply doesn't exist yet for me.
So if I say… “I simply want an electric vehicle with 2000km range on a single charge, and a 20m charge time. Until that exists, EVs just don’t exist yet for me.”… that means EVs haven’t happened yet?
It’s well and good that you know what you want, that doesn’t mean something hasn’t already been on market for years that fits the bill for 99% of people.
Huh. I’m flattered that my opinion about what I want to spend my money on matters enough to necessitate such an astute clarification. Thank you. I’ll try to keep in mind what might fit the bill for 99% of people as I continue to disregard Meta and TikTok products moving forward.
I fully agree, but to think XR is not going to be the next computing platform is a little surprising. A little as I remember a lot of people saying they would never carry a computer around with them too.
Never get there? What would make you say that in the face of constant technological progress? It is for sure going to come and Meta and others already have light field display prototypes that they are trying to shrink down. Just a matter of time. VR/AR/MR are all going to be just one device and games will be as big a segment on it as they are on flat screens which is to say, only a smalll slice.
Technological progress is not generalizable in the abstract. For hundreds of years human built faster and faster means of transportation and yet the record for fastest human vehicle remains 1969 appollo 10 mission.
There are hard limits to physics. It is not malleable without limit.
Magic leap said they were going to shrink down their light field tech a decade ago but gave up. The reality is that this technology may just not be physically possible.
