VRFocus - We’ve been told time and time again that virtual reality (VR) is for absolutely everyone. We’re assured that anyone can slip on a headset such as the Oculus Rift or Project Morpheus and enjoy a wide variety of experiences. But many times we hear this comment from developers or enthusiasts it refers to content and demographics. By ‘everyone’ they mean ‘not just gamers’, as VR is set to be utilised for films, virtual tourism and is already at work in medical and military sectors, with a range of other possibilities yet to be explored. What the answer usually dismisses is compatibility.
Recent findings in the latest PSVR2 software update, indicates that PlayStation is already starting to implement support for PC.
The icing on the cake would be if Sony / Valve allow for a Steam Link app much like it is for the Quest 3. Likely wishful thinking, though.
Warner Bros. Discovery is closing down Adult Swim Games, delisting its published games. Thus putting Rick and Morty VR in jeopardy.
VR doesn't have to be isolating, there are some amazing social platforms out there. Here are the seven best VR social worlds to explore.
Augmented Reality is much more accessible than Virtual Reality, but they are so very different. You could do augmented reality inside of virtual reality, but not vice versa.
I do think Augmented Reality will be more popular in the long term though. Especially if ideas like the Illumiroom make it so you don't have to wear anything.
The biggest hurdle for Virtual Reality is the idea of wearing helmet and also the fact that it is a little unsettling. I don't think we will ever reach a point where mainstream users will want to strap something to their head.
Just a suggestion, why don't they build adjustable ( soft and durable rubberized ) flaps on the outermost edge surrounding the goggles that can be increased to up to a couple of centimeters/inches to fit people who wear varying sizes of prescription glasses.
TV and controllers best by my opinion. Not into this vr or ar. Couldn't imagine wearing this stuff for a few hours. No thanks. Some people will like though so good for them.
Augmented Reality may give people God like powers and you can ask Pierce Bronson or William Shatner that having god like powers may not be a good idea.
