“one thing is still missing: content.

“The killer app for VR hasn’t been created yet,” “

In other words, yet another high tech “solution” in search of a “problem”.

Don’t worry. Once the sex apps become available, our muslim problem is solved. And our liberal basement dweller problem. And out politician problem.

Buy stock on cleaning supplies now and profit handsomly.

Only thing is, who will code the sheep simulator?

I work in the CG Image business and we got to try one of these out at work.

I tried the roller coaster and a hang glider simulation. With the noise canceling headphones and the ability to look all around you, you are completely removed from reality.

On a conscious level I knew I was sitting in my office but if I looked up I could see the fluttering fabric of my glider and if I looked down, the Grand Canyon.

The sound of the wind and the peaceful beauty was so relaxing and disorienting because, while it was so real, I knew I was still sitting in my office.

Wierd, scary and totally the future.

OK. So you put on your virtual reality headset and you see a virtual reality headset. You pick up that headset and look into it. What do you see?

Would add an interesting dimension to telecommuting.

Especially if you can change the reality of yourself and your co-workers...
