The reality distortion field better be at record levels next week because I still don't get this headset stuff. I'd understand it as an R&D side project to be ready for 15-20 years from now when battery/compute tech might be ready. But this moonshot approach of throwing tons of resources at it and shipping something maybe even this year? Just don't see it working out.
@paul Could be. But it’s also what I thought about the first ipad - what, a hundreds-of-euros device above my laptop for browsing websites?
It all depends on having a killer app -or apps- and websites aren’t it. Neither are games IMO though, for mainstream. As obnoxious as Google Glass was, I’d look more into that territory than a VR set.
But I also think of the lidars they’ve been putting in iphones and ipads. Not much use after a few hours toying… but done with a purpose, I’m sure. Curious!
