I would rather stick pins in my eyes than buy anything from sky. They are a cancer of TV and sports.

Well that’s what we are waiting for I guess, how much will
they charge.



Step in the right direction for the tech. I have also read
they may use Jaunt to cover F1. Hopefully if It becomes more main stream a few
more options will unfold. BT/ESPN etc.







Heard this on Radio 4 this morning - sounds interesting.

I think they said they have commissioned around 15? "films".

edit: the bad news was, the idiots Radio 4 had on knew nothing about VR - i'll have another listen when i get home but apparently it has really taken off this year (no mention why) - so much so that 300,000 people now have a VR system...

Yeah  that’s where the
PSVR will come in from a marketing point of view increasing public awareness.



Tried Jaunt with the Maple leafs demo. Really looking
forward to standing on the 18th fairway of the Master/Open seeing
what the player would. Or picking a seat in a stadium virtually.

It just needs to be good enough quality.  I will not go back to the portable TV we had in 1985!

Yes agreed the quality of 360 video recording needs to be better.

Been a user of sky since 1988 and have had nothing but good service, equipment and excellent repair work. One of the rare ones I suppose.
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

The problem is people are happily fleeced which then funds them to buy more stuff to fleece more people.
