  • I genuinely hate what VR has become. They’re signing this tech’s death warranty and they should know that. After over a decade we’ve just about plateaued in terms of developing objectively better headsets, and fucked any chance of having a PCVR/peripheral headset that actually looks good, has good tracking, and works universally with whatever the fuck you want too hook up to it without being $1500 or more.

    Not to mention locomotion hasn’t made any real progress and we’ve actually scrapped a lot of promising looking haptics tech that could have been a standard feature of VR controllers. We’ve also lost any hope of 3rd party controller support.

    We’re cooked, and I don’t see this going anywhere good. Keep what you have for novelty’s sake and future ‘collector’s’ value, but don’t bother looking forward to a future of VR or AR beyond gimmicky shit like google glasses and whatever the fuck Cuckerberg is doing.
