VR vacations: Globetrotting via virtual reality

26 Comments

1. I'm only interested in actual photography / videography. Not animations that make it feel like a game, not "reality."

2. Wow

3. "its not technically a kid device at all"
   "why isn't it?"
   "I think it's not quite entirely clear what the effects are"
   uh… its not quite entirely clear what the effects are for adults too why is it not technically a kid device?

4. This is highly depressing

5. This is HUGE ! The potential is vast, where do I invest ???

6. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

7. One step closer to Tek addiction. (Thank you, William Shatner).

8. I would rather travel this way than in person. No having to deal with delayed flights and other dangerous or time-consuming issues.

9. If you want to explore the Okavango through the immersive world of VR, you can start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS111RWqblk Enjoy!

10. I workout in VR on multiple apps and spend hours dancing in virtual clubs on Altspace. It's been very good for my mental and physical health during the last year.

11. Hello, We know that the mainstream media is new to the VR scene. We thank you for using the term headset instead of goggles. We cringe at the term goggles. Also Valve has an app called Steam and they openly show what type of hardware is being used. With the numbers we have been seeing, we wonder why VR isn't mainstream already.

12. Still terrible graphics but in decade more realistic graphics.

13. Demeo time.

14. Just a few nights ago had mutual furry grooming in VR chat. Just wait till they discover the fun of VR chat.

15. Completely agree with the guy that warned about kids using VR, but judging from how many kids there are in every VR app out there… not many parents agree.

16. 🙄

17. Those avatars can't rub elbows.

18. Yeah let me put something very personal into technology owned by Facebook, a company who totally doesn't collect data on people whatsoever…

19. None of them are wearing the Quest 2 properly 😒. 1. Don't use stock head strap. 2. Regardless of the strap used balance so that weight is distributed evenly and not applying more pressure on forehead or cheeks/lower face. If you wear like the video you will 100% get a migraine and intense burning pain in neck or head. 3. The Nat Geo videos shown would obviously give anyone new motion sickness (or even myself after 8 months of daily use). Ease into VR with things labeled with green in the oculus store that indicates comfort with little chance even new players/users would get sick. Leave anything moderate or intense (labeled yellow and red) for after you're experienced. In my case I only motion sickness 1-2 times and I'm hyper prone to motion sickness. After they enabled 120hz (not supported by every app/game yet) it makes the biggest difference and way more comfortable.

20. What kind of world am I living now?

21. Still nothing like the experience itself or watching a unique travel channel like mine to visit different cultures outside of tourist traps.

22. Just last night playing mini golf and Catan with my best friend from High School. 1200 miles (5 states apart). It feels more real than zoom and is fun!

23. Step on a plane, do real things. Otherwise all becomes Ready Player One too easily.

24. Don't mix the iron with clay. Just sayin'

25. Stupid

26. Can you VR Manhattan so you’re the only one in it, like Will Smith in “I am Legend”? Because NYC without other people has always been my dream.
