I’m really hopeful for virtual reality tech. When they figure that out I reckon it will revolutionize our world. This is a good step in the right direction, though obviously we’ll all end up in pods/capsules.

    I love how you can have a really complicated problem and it can be solved with such a simple premise.

    It’s just such a basic idea that’s obvious in hindsight.

    i feel like vr will have an actual purpose and general utility about the same time we bring those in-development fusion reactors online.

    until then its niche/entertainment only.

    change the world? Not anytime soon

    Very cool! This sort of tech will only really feel right if you’re waking straight ahead at a steady pace though. As soon as you change directions or otherwise accelerate it won’t feel right because you don’t have to deal with any of the momentum that you normally do.

    I like the idea of it being used on inanimate objects for other purposes though. Could this be coupled with the volume to move some props in a way to really sell paralax or movement when viewed in camera? The SFX uses are probably many.
