How should VR really be like?

I think VR should live up to its name and be Virtual Reality.
As it stands now it's just a 360 Degree 3D TV with Cameras
I'm probably just too into sci-fi...
it should be like living inside another world except with different rules depending on the games.
No restrictions or limitations except game world rules.

A method for talking with anyone in the world instantly? impossible!
An internal combustion machine? impossible!
Flying machines? impossible!
A programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed mathematical operations? impossible!
A computer the size of my finger? impossible!
True VR? impossible!

Autonomous robots?

The thing that pulls you into the game or environment is not the headset or 3d effect, but rather the content. I'll put up with a lot of deficiencies to see my content in 3d.
Just like in the early days of 3d cinema there will be a lot of junk that celebrates the stereo effect rather than contributing to the content itself.
The 3d effect should simply enhance the content, but creators just love to have things jumping out of the screen at you, for the sake of demonstrating the technology.


I totally agree with this. I am gladly dealing with a bit of screendoor effect to sit in the cockpit of my racecars, airplanes, and spaceships. Elite Dangerous on a regular screen isn't even a consideration after playing it in VR, even with our limited hardware.


yes but if it were possible wouldnt you prefer to feel it completly, feel the movement and friction of the car as it moves as well as being able to really be behind the wheel instead of moving your hands or controller?
the technology might not be here yet but it will be in the future


I race while sitting in a customised chair with full forcefeed back steering wheel/pedals/gearshift and handbrake. I have 4 seperate tactile transducers that cause different frequenzy vibrations. I can feel the rev of the engine, the change in road surface and even feel when my tyres are about to loose grip. After an accident I know I've taken damage as I'm fighting harder with the steering wheel and can actually look over my cockpit and see the damage to the front wheel.
Without taking personnal injury I'm not sure how much more real you want to get!

Or maybe you need to build one of these?
