Re: The current state of Virtual Reality: another period of gimmickry or a true start
Definitely would like to get your impressions on it.
After reading Ready Player One, I've started reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. I've noticed in both stories that the interconnected computers of what we refer to as the Internet sort of appears to have its own digital representation (which was sort of done in film with the adaptation of Johnny Mnemonic, with cyberspace being almost its own virtual environment). I know we're not anywhere near like that, but I will admit, I've wondered what the RPF would look like as a virtual environment itself. I can imagine virtual library of screen-accurate props and models being available as virtual models, which would allow for users to access and get a clearer view of them and in greater detail so that users can get a clear understanding on how they were constructed so that they could recreate it in real life. I doubt there'd be a chat area like we've had before, but the forums would probably remain the same.
I have been using my Oculua rift for a few weeks now. I'll post my impressions when I get a few moments later. Definitely some staggering experiences to be had but has room for improvement. When perfected it will ultimately make 3D movies completely obsolete.
