As this shall be the first of these we've done here I'll start by explaining before I get lazy and simply copy another mod's work.
As some thing are poorly fit to post about in a sub with a focus we've been running a weekly post on some random topics over on Reddit. Since we're here we will be doing the same here.
So this week's topic, Virtual Reality
This week for discussions we are going to talk about VR and what people are doing with it. Playing video games, VR chatting, watching movies, whatever else is done on there.
Personally I've not done anything VR since sometime in the 90's where I played something in a arcade at Cedar Point... so let me ask those who do play with it, is it worth it?
The only experience I've had with modern VR tech was a few years ago when I went to PAX Prime... A booth setup there had a VR system setup with a Fruit Ninja-like game. Swinging around a toy sword and slicing virtual fruits coming at me. It was pretty cool!
Aside from that, I haven't bought any commercial VR headset yet. Waiting for the tech to get cheaper and better before I dive in. However, I do think there's promise with VR, and that it isn't just a fad.
Yeah there's promise there... I can't help but think of mechwarrior games, or X-Wing vs Tie Fighter when I think about that potential.
