A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Because the apple headset was a hype item, not a real attempt at really anything. I used one in an hour long product demo in a store, and it was a cool proof of concept, but absolutely had zero substance.
I'm all for VR, but I am REALLY hard on things I like. And it had GAPING flaws.
The only way VR as it is now is going to break into mainstream is if it's comfortable, convenient, useful, and freeing.
Meaning, there needs to be basically no hurdle to putting it on, robust and usable in many circumstances, ACTUALLY has purpose that replaces or comes to par with existing tech and actually solves real problems, and you can pirate and watch porn with it, with privacy at every step of the way.
New tech can't be WORSE than current tech.
