Cannot find purpose where using VR often would make sense..
Cannot find purpose where using VR often would make sense other than for simulation of course.
For chat and social it's kind of alright but getting dizzy in VR makes it not that great. I use the Meta Quest Pro with fitting. Some people use it for therapy but it's the same old sharing of each others stories. When watching NBA, it gets quite boring. I used to be heavy into racing and flight sim but I stopped doing it. I was going to program in Unity with it but it's kind of where, you can do the same thing better by making a UI app than wandering in VR and getting dizzy. A lot of the stuff can be made without needing a company or pay to use services. I'm unsure how many companies will survive in the future. Imo, manufacturers that make devices should be worth more than paying to use services though VR is incredibly dying. The XR metaverse could come out but ultimately if that makes people disoriented too, then people won't use. Money dumping hard into this kind of research and development is going too far because a lot of stuff could be made from tech and software of at least 5 years ago. All the stuff now is just a bit better than how it was but not way way better.
People better restructure before they end up like Silicon Valley Bank.
We are all possibly rearching the end times of Capitalism with ChatGPT-4 and other things. Maybe VR can help with the ultra dynamic and unexpected future we are all headed into, or at least the survivors.
This should be taken as a huge notice. I was highly excited about VR too, getting laser eye surgery and such but realizing how the world really is, if VR isn't used for important training then there will be no market. I think marketing VR to consumers is going to go no where. Once the VR newness disappears, people won't use it.
If the passthrough quality can be 20x better, it could work but the fear is if the goggles turn off in the middle of operating heavy machinery, it's dangerous. Maybe using it for Robotics could work but the Wii graphics makes it not feel "real".

Hello AntDX3162 , I respect your opinion but your arguments remind me a lot of the following.
In the 19th century, doctors did not recommend traveling by train. Freud went so far as to say that it affected mental health. The myths around the railway were of such a caliber that "it was warned that traveling above 45 kilometers per hour the human body could not support it and disintegrated".
Lee Dee Forest, a great inventor said about television. It is an invention on which we should not waste much time dreaming.
In 1936 the editor of the Radio Times claimed that...The television will not have any importance in the course of their lives or mine.And still ten years later, in 1946, the film producer Darryl F. Zanuck, who has films like How Green Was My Valley!, Naked Eve or The Longest Day, among many others, assured:People will soon tire of looking at a plywood box every night.I can go on with dozens of inventions that have changed the way we see the world throughout history and in their origins few people bet on them, I firmly believe that Virtual Reality will be one of them.By the way, about your fear of suffering a mishap in an operation, you have the same chances in one without virtual reality, earthquake, attack, surgeon error...Give virtual reality a chance, in a few years you will advance and you can feel like a pioneer in this field, a hug.I believe it is great too.. it was great for the racing games. If done right, it can take your crafted digital experience into real-life but anything other than that as with anything, it won't really work. People just need to find all the purposes and make them work but without, if doing it in real-life is better or using other methods are then people should stop developing it for that.
It super sucks that there are like 2-3 games that are good to use the Meta Quest Pro on besides racing of course. I have to to figure out how to get it to work like the DK2 and CV1 for Project Cars.
If people don't develop for VR, it won't go anywhere.- Hello AntDX3162, I still think differently.In games, the subject of realism is very subjective, and I will give you another example, Minecraft, simplifying a lot, it is about simple cubes, but the essence of the game engages in such a way that it has become a legend.In VR Beat Saber it's more of the same, but the mechanics of the game have made them win millions of euros...I believe that the creation of video games is much more complex than good graphics.On the other hand, you can use App Space Ward, Unity in principle, it has solved errors that occurred with URP, or so I am experiencing in the development of the game that I am doing, and the results are very promising (with ASW, not with my game xDD)I'm glad your new glasses are so great, a hug.
I just got Meta Quest Pro to work on Project Cars 3, wow. Came along way since DK2 in terms of development! It's awesome. Holy it's incredible!! The smoke going over the vehicle while in an F1 in 3D is like no other.
I think I've been out after CV1. All graphics need to be like Projects Cars or better. No more Wii graphics please. : (
Meta universe is not a good standard for VR lmao unless you are in a lobby doing nothing.
