  1. her claims are but wind and air, just because you have a screen on your face does not make it "another realm" or "virtual world" what i see that is like a anime called Sword Art Online until then, fuck off

  2. Finally, A virtual reality world is being created. It's kind of , " Cool" but , I prefer the real world. It's only a visual thing and while everyone is sitting down becoming unhealthy, I'll be out there living and creating authentic memories. Technology has its place ( rehabilitation purposes) but let's disconnect and rediscover, " Life ".

  3. Anyone who still thinks VR is a gimmick needs to take a second look. Virtual Reality is intended as a new way of interacting with computers and for people to communicating with each other.

  4. This is one of the smallest markets in gaming, and it won't grow until the price changes and there is a solution to the nausea problem. And, do you actually want VR? You come home, it's late, you're tired, and now you have to stand up to game with you Vive or Oculus or PS VR? I'd rather prefer laying on the couch to play on my PC or Console.

  5. meh, i disagree, but only with the 2016 prediction

    Ive been using oculus rift and I dont really think theres enough stuff for it to go mainstream yet

    still not enough content for 'mainstream' users. but that will end by 2017 id say, just not 2016. but lets see if im wrong.

  6. sorry wont be happening ,, sadly I have to tell you games are shit programmers cant make it work , all they can do is copy and paste. it isn't really that good as you think..
