Don't think its fucken worth it

>>56280133
VRs are not just from Mark, faggot

>>56280117
They know the real way to make a lot of money from it would be to sell it to companies as a way to have WFH meetings where people can’t be on their phones or browse the internet during the meeting.

Problem is that’s almost as bad as being in the office so remote workers would resist it.

>>56280133
The whole shit is all about the hype dumbfuck

Damn obvious Chads are getting smarter.
Who cares about the money bags?

Faceberg killed vr.

>>56280133
You've got to format your brain, shit ass. Mixed reality is not for dummies.

>>56280117
>How the fuck will that improve the lives of users?
oh sweet summer child

>>56280271
He's always been a shitty crook.

>>56280117
Is there a craze? I know a few people with sim racing setups that have a vr set and that's about it. Most normalfags seem happy with a regular old monitor.

vr is based
meta is cringe

>>56280312
And neither should it be so hard to understand.

Can a dev bring SIMS, a simulation game into VR, wtf is going on.
Get me raved up with the tech already ffs, which VR game is worthy though.

>>56280117
Actual VR enjoyer since the Oculus Kickstarter.
People seem to have very strong views on VR: it's either going to be GITS/Ready player one and consume reality or it's just a stupid overhyped fad which sucks.

The actual reality is that it's a new fun and more social way to play video games. Meta has done very well selling over 20 millions of Quest 2 (that's half the number of PS5 sales) but they went with a narrative which doesn't match reality at all, like someone trying to sell you a car as a place to have sex instead of one to go from point A to B.

I also think they made a mistake dumping the Oculus brand, they should have kept it as the gaming division of facebook.

>>56280590
Mark is a confused being but I gotta give me for Quest 3, prescription lenses in it as well like yo!! Based move

Yet are they other better lots in the space?
What y'all think of HTCVive partnered with motorverse and Pico brand though
Vision Pro is a joke, $3500 what for?

>>56280117
Kek, the peak of the VR "craze" was when The Lawnmower Man came out (1992).

>>56280512
Meta Quest has got you covered. You can have 500+ immersive experiences.
You can try POPULATION: ONE, it's free to play.

>>56280117
Probably gonna buy one of these so I can shit post on here at work, also so my coworkers don't look at my screen

>>56280707
To you, I was damn hyped when I saw Pixel Ripped 1995: On the Road on VR via holoride retrofit device, what could be more beautiful chad.

>>56280312
Apple Vision Pro is just it for me blending digital content with my physical space.

>>56280716
Play that too Chad, but Supernatural has been my favorite there.

>>56280917
When it comes to entertainment, Vision Pro gives the ultimate theatre wherever you are. You can't fuck with that.

>>56280478
I guess Mark screwed it up for everyone.

>>56281000
Sounds interesting Anon, but how about a VR cinema from the backseat of your car?

>>56280971
The metaquest costs a fortune anon. There has to be better options.

>>56281016
He knows His game Chad.

>>56280133
Koikatsu Party VR

>>56280817
Cloudbreakers Leaving Haven has been my game. I've got a thing for space fighting. Maybe Elon is my Father haha.

>>56280917
That shit is fuckin expensive and may not get deserved adoption.

>>56281000
Its navigation is seamless and second to none Anon.

>>56280639
>What y'all think of HTCVive partnering with Motorverse
Quest 3 is more affordable than Vision Pro and I must give Mark that.
HTC Vive partnering with Audi and others to bring the Motorverse is the peak of VR entertainment for me. It makes all road trips count when it comes to in-car entertainment

>>56281191
You're right chad, the retrofit pack is more cost effective for me and comes with a HTC vive headset.

>>56281230
Most of the things he did aren't catching on. Look at thread for instance

>>56280117
The whole point of VR is porn and it's definitely worth it.

>>56280271
>screencap
The problem is that VR requires a significant investment to get the hardware, which means that whatever's on the other side had better be worth it. So far all the public has seen boils down to tech demos, experimental games, and "come to a great new world btw use your real name and your corporate HR and DEI representatives are here too"
Absurdly degenerate porn is the only thing I can think that would be a draw but that's not advertiser friendly so as long as zuck's in charge of metaverse it will never gain traction

>>56281191
Valid point chad, the retrofit pack is more cost effective for me and came with a HTC vive headset.

>>56280117
VR is like diving into a whole new universe without leaving your chair.
>>56280716
>POPULATION: ONE
Played it once on a fren's rec, not gonna lie, not disappointed, you gat to try Jungle chase as well, totally immersive and epic adventurous.

>>56281243
How would a party in virtual reality be though

what craze? I own the quest 2 but I haven't heard anyone irl talk about vr for a long time.

anyway, some of the games are fun and neat, but whatever zuck was pushing for was pure cancer.

>>56281610
He's a fucken copycat Chad. Copied from Twitter to do Thread and attempted to copy in-car entertainment from Holoride. Not sure how His partnership with BMW is going.

>>56281635
Who would even want to watch porn in VR

>>56281645
The problem is that VR will not be accepted until there is serious porn and privacy for it.
And meta was you to identify sending a fucking video and has low angled cameras to capture your body and watch you while you fap.

>>56282183
>he doesnt know

>>56282183
you dont "watch" it. The video memes are like some awful outer body experience shit where u feel like a cuck. Any normal person will play a 'game'

>>56281920
The possibilities in VR are endless, I even came across a platform that let's users explore the metaverse and gaming through VR headsets.

>>56282245
He'd learn eventually

>>56281994
Quest2 is still the best as far as I've used, hands down

>>56280117
bought quest 2 for $300. was ok

>>56282479
The HTC vive ranks top for me oldfag. I enjoy playing Cloudbreakers and Planet ride on it.

>>56282183
Sons of bitches

>>56282102
>He's a fucken copycat Chad. Copied from Twitter to do Thread
It doesn't matter you retard, anybody can start a project and another one does it better

>>56282298
Isn't that the whole point of VR? Kek

>>56282102
One thing is certain, Lizard boy isn't giving up until Meta has completely monopolized the VR space, that's why they're trying out different things on it

>>56280917
not bad anon, Reminds me of the Retrofit pack which lets me experience VR on road trips.

>>56280117
If you're complaining about the quest 3 wait until you learn apple and their vision pro

>>56283066
Is there any actual proof on him being a lizard?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVYrJJNdrEg

>>56283066
would be interesting to see how they do that, the good side to it is that if meta launches VR in cars and it gets adopted then it's also good for holoride

>>56282233
>>56282261
Kek

>>56283102
Apple is kinda too expensive for poor fags like me

>>56283135
I don't trust this link

>>56282905
You're right thou
It all depends on the team behind, holoride got big names in their crew, even Audi, the car legends, are teaming up with them, which is a big deal.

>>56283099
Could be in my 1999 Toyota sienna and it feels like I'm in a spaceship fighting alien battleships,
how based is that?

>>56283224
This is why holoride decided to have rental option available for poor fags like you who can't afford to own one

>>56283224
find a way to deal with it or use a better option.

>>56283224
It was never intended for the poor anon

>>56280117
I virtually cum inside Marie Rose daily. Ama

>>56283362
Fuckin based oldfag, the possibilities are endless and there was even an exhibition at the IAA mobility.

>>56280117
In one more generation it will be, once the quest is shrunken down to the size of pit vipers

>>56280117
no killer app and it's still a bitch to take on and off.
also apples headset is better i hear

>>56283613
based vamchad

>>56280117
I won't. VR interests me 0%.

>>56283701
The HTC vive headset takes the cake for me anon. Can be worn for hours with its lightweight design and syncs with a platform for metaverse adventures.

>>56283770
with the right hardware, it's better than the real thing. I enjoy my constant victories against the ladies of the dead or alive series. AI and advanced emotional tuning is gonna be wilddddd

>>56283613
based sir

>>56281568
I don't know anon, htc vista and vive are worthy mentions. At the IAA mobility it was even used to exhibit VR contents for users in automobiles.

>>56280117
I have a credit card.

New age of VR escorts is going to emerge

>>56280117
>Is the VR craze worth it
Absolutely not. VR had a thousand chances and always disappointed. It might become a thing in the not so far future but not right now. I think Zuckerberg betting on the Metaverse was risky but worth a try. Then it was ultimately killed by Covid. Who the fuck wants to spend even one more fucking second in virtual reality after 2 years of lockdowns and social isolation? People want to travel, go out and live.

>>56283362
Its interesting that the tech works on any car regardless of type or make, and the Cloudbreakers gives me enough battle action.

>>56283362
Definitely not because of all the vibrations you'd be getting from the different parts of the car that's made from pure metals kek

90s cars are mostly known for how strong they're and their reliability, not all these new and expensive cars with nothing to offer except big screens

>>56283371
fairs, imagine if you could rent the upcoming quest 3 headset, I'm sure they'll go out of stock in hours

>>56280117
Never spending my money on VR
Good luck trying to change my mind

>>56283613
what game?

>>56284363
That makes the product 10x better since you don't need to have the latest audi before you can use it.

>>56280117

VR is still an expensive niche. The only people that go hardcore into it are VRChat users.

>>56284658
These guys are only doing it as a way to promote the headset and get more people to learn about it
nobody's gonna rent you the quest 3 anon

>>56284705
Virt-a-Mate

I use mine pretty frequently for light daily activity (modded beatsaber) and for media (vr chat has tons of pirated media, dont tell normies or its fucking over)

Haven't really played many games as my friends dont have a headset. There is a language learning game called nountown that I have liked, but other than that the headset really only functions as a light exercise device and a media device. My TV is 15+ years old and I dont like watching TV on my desktop, but I do like slapping the headset on and having basically a movie theater in front of me. Have used it on an airplane to watch movies and its much better than a phone, laptop, or the little tv's on international flights. On the international flights you can basically just drain your battery with saved movies, switch to the inflight movies while its charging and then shift back.

>>56280447
only people who are crazy about it are businesses who think it's some wild untapped potential where they can plop the consumer into a virtual world filled with virtual ads

>>56280117
VR is overrated. If you had a headset you'd know

>>56285323
It is completely overrated. I have 3 headsets.

It will never do shit until they advance pornography a la VHS tapes.

>>56285120
>Have used it on an airplane to watch movies
Awkward...EVERYONE thinks you're watching porn. Although, by 2030, this will be normal, and everyone will be wearing the Apple goggles 24/7.

>>56285864
VR porn won't be good unless they have full body suits you can wear plus a dick sucking attachment for your cock

>>56287219
Who said he wasn't?

>>56280117
>VR craze
who told you this was a thing?

>>56287219
The fun is in the mystery

>>56287219
>Have used it on an airplane to watch movies
>Awkward...EVERYONE thinks you're watching porn. Although, by 2030, this will be normal, and everyone will be wearing the Apple goggles 24/7.
You're an idiot and the future is already here. I was playing beat saber on the subway on my way to work this morning. It's great, the headset blocks out all the thugs and homeless people smoking crack and since it creates a nice seal around my face I don't have to smell the piss and shit around me, instead it smells like plastic and a bit of cologne that a dab on the nose piece. I also get a good amount of exercise in too.
And that's JUST VR. With the new Apple headset revolutionizing AR we could see machine learning algorithms actively replace things in your view while keeping you aware of your surroundings. That passed out homeless man sleeping in his own vomit? Replaced by a psychedelic glowing mushroom patch full of spritely gnomes climbing and working around them. Knife wielding junky talking to himself and acting erratic? BAM replaced by a photo realistic Mario from the videogame Mario 64 enjoying his commute on the way to the mushroom kingdom.
The AR/VR revolution is going to change the way we entirely view cities, public transportation, and even just little things like brewing a cup of coffee can have added flair (imagine being able to see a loading progress bar (hovering in mid air with the magic of AR) that shows how much time is left to finish brewing your cup of Keurig coffee). The future is going to be fantastic.

>>56287771
Living in America is truly a nightmare that only VR can fix.

>ctrl-f valve
>0 results

boy oh boy, you bizzies really took the Cuckerberg Koolaid

>>56280117
>Besides, who has such dumb money to buy such?
I do, pajeet. I'm going to spend all that money just to jack off in vr

>>56287771

Mario why are you STABBING me

you know Apple is on to get the Formula 1 TV licenses? You can literally sit in the car with Lewis Hamilton and jump back and forth to unlimited camera perspectives! Want to see a pit stop from a machanics view? Press a button - easy.

Oh no tonight is the big boxing match in Madison Square Garden. How convenient I can sit first row with my Vision Pro and see the sweat being thrown on Lady Gaga to my left and Uncle Trump to my right.

OMG Metallica are having a gig at the fucking superbowl? I can literally stand on the fucking stage together with James Hetfield and watch the show 1st person.

If done right, this Apple Vision Pro is gona sell millions of first row seats to concerts, fights, races, sports events, you name it.

VR is the future of video entertainment however the tech is limited at the moment, cost of hardware and production costs are high due to the market being full of greedy individuals.

What these billion dollar companies need to do is start supporting 3rd party in house developers again but keep the connections secret.

Anytime people get the scent of microsoft, facebook, valve or any large company, the developers start asking for millions.

You have to keep these greedy cocksuckers in the dark, it's part of the game. I know this from personal experience as a programmer for nearly all of my life. People I'v known will stop doing work and start seeking money in higher amounts, won't complete jobs, will become lazy.

The world is so fucked up right now because not enough people are evolving fast enough to understand that productivity and loving relationships are key to a success milestone. Everything with most of these people is about cut throating, blackmailing, hostage taking, complaining life is unfair so we must turn our backs to work.

Once these types of people stack a bank account, they then turn into stingy business owners who do the exact same thing they were complaining about working as an associate for.

Hordes of cunts with no love or passion for the project or operation.

>>56280159
>They know the real way to make a lot of money from it would be to sell it to companies as a way to have WFH meetings where people can’t be on their phones or browse the internet during the meeting.
lol this is it. I just had a fucking middle management interview where they asked me how I feel about management using program and time monitoring tools on its employees. The worlds a joke. Even if you work remote corporate wants to watch you 24 / 7.

>>56280271
Can anyone explain how their stock did a 3x since Januaray after shitting itself so hard last fall? I was talking about this with someone else and neither of us could see any reason for it to do that beyond plain manipulation. The only reasons I can even see given in the news is their rounds of layoffs which makes fuckall sense for a recovery that sharp.

>>56292573
Meta announced they were substantially cutting their metaverse product and instead focus on their advertising cash cow. They cut their hardware team significantly recently and more layoffs trimmed their operating overhead significantly. I think they're over valued now but I do regret not buying back in after they did that.

>>56292149
>>56290471
yep this is it right here. VR def is the future.

>>56292936
Oh god I never noticed that one of the cords is hooked directly up to his cock

>>56292149

interesting take, thanx for posting


-t. programmer who gives 0 shits about his telcom project lmao

>>56293399
Those who try cooming in VR, immediately realize it is the Final Frontier. Build and enjoy your deepest fantasies, on demand. Whenever, wherever. With a little extra hardware, you can even enhance your sexual experience. VR is destined for porn consumption -- and that's why I'm extremely bullish on companies which are building on this tech: Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Samsung, Unity, Qualcomm, Valve, and others.

>>56285864
>>56285323
This, the whole thing doesn't appeal to me. I like reality and the headsets look stupid

>>56293924
I think the optimal target market is introverts who want to escape reality and don't care about looks.

>>56280117
Fuck any headset from meta. You get a meta headset and that bitch is gonna lose all functionality in like 5 years likr some retarded iphone. I got a rift s and there is literally no support for controllers. No replacement thumbsticks you can change or nothing. A replacement controller is gonna be like over 100 dollars on ebay and you know its used so the thumbstick is already gonna be going out. Meta headsets are like fords. You drive em 60,000 miles and then sell to the next retard dumb enough to buy it. Im glad I got enough use out of it to beat skyrim vr and play some of fallout 4 vr before the controllers just completely took a shit. The left one wont even turn on anymore. Either of them. The old one or the replacement I bought on ebay will turn on. Its weird. Yeah bro dont do it just get a vive thats what Im gonna get when my crypto takes off

>>56295003
I'm probably going to pick up the next Valve headset.
