RE: Virtual reality goes mainstream
I'm waiting for VR headsets to replace monitors at companies. The price point is already there.
Two decent Widescreen monitors = $1500 CAD
VR Headset = $600 CAD
The weakness of the VR headset thus far is reading text, but with some creative zoom options, it can't be that far out.
You're right - a VR headset will cost around $600, but you must have the computer power to be able to run the VR. Reading text on the Oculus Go can be a bit challenging - but watching content is pretty amazing.
The next big play with virtual reality seems like it's going to be eye tracking. This will allow the headset to understand where you are looking and be able to render exactly where you're looking with higher resolution.
I've read about that. It will be like having the opposite of cataracts.
I imagine, once you get used to it, you won't even notice.
Ready Player One
Yeah exactly - we'd have perfect vision wherever we are looking! Ready Player One is right. Have you seen it yet?
WRT Ready Player One, I've read the book and watched the movie.
I highly recommend listening to the audiobook that is narrated by Will Wheaton. The movie is very good, but the book is amazing!!!
