ill wait until vr is cheaper than real hookers

#42

Solid plan.

#43

i have no real interest in VR games so thatā€™s a no to me

#44

Have you gotten to try it at all?

#45

I know I havenā€™t. Iā€™m actually a bit concerned about whether the 3D effect will work properly for me. I wear glasses and one of my eyes is a lot stronger than the other.

#46

Itā€™s a point of shame I havenā€™t tried VR yet either, but thereā€™s no opportunity for me in MI!! The closest chance I had was when HTC was in Chicago, but it was on a random wednesday. I gotta work!

Iā€™ve got pretty bad eyes, myself. The Vive is designed with glasses in mind, but as long as youā€™re nearsighted like me I donā€™t think it should be an issue since the panel is right in front of your face.

#47

I havenā€™t no. Also same as Laboured, right eye is twice as bad as the left which is already not very good. Plus i need new glasses already and thatā€™s a shitload of money too >_> fml

#48

My left eye has a stigmatism like a football. Just got new glasses yesterday, as a matter of fact.

Health insurance!

#49

Yeah, Iā€™m long-sighted unfortunately. Wonder if there are any articles on this issue.

Once VR gets off the ground, Iā€™m betting youā€™ll be able to purchse prescription lenses for your HMD. No telling how much thatā€™ll cost you, though.

Or what about a slot in the headset where you could add in a second lens infront of the normal lens for vision correction? Idk

#51

What donā€™t you guys just have better eyes? Why donā€™t you just do that?

#52

Iā€™m trying man.

Motherfucker brings up smartphone porn, has no idea how great VR porn is gonna be.

#55

Problem is, we have always had very high expectations for what VR is and should be because of older movies, depicting it as a highly futuristic device able to immerse you in a photo-realistic world, with photo-realistic people. Thatā€™s why many people continue to hype up VR. Itā€™s fueled by that sort of imagination we have of fictional VR technology. Not to say that itā€™s an impossibility to reach that level of sophistication, but we are talking 20-50 years from now until we can ever hope to reach that technological capacity. Itā€™s for that reason that I wouldnā€™t buy into any of this, unless itā€™s at a reasonable price, then sure whatever, Iā€™ll play around with it.

#56

iā€™ve long resolved to skip these gimmick gens and wait for omnitools and the matrix.

#57

ā€œgimmickā€

smh

I wish you guys lived around me so I could blow your minds once I get my Vive.
