I Spent Hundreds of Hours Working in VR
I wanted to love VR. I dreamed of having a headset when I was younger and kickedstarted the oculus rift. I imagined a million worlds that would be within virtual reach. It would be the coolest!<p>VR has been nothing but a complete disappointment to me. Motion Sickness, headaches, sweaty headsets and detachment. Never played a VR game that wasn’t better without it, somewhat like 3D movies.
I have my doubts this will ever be anything other that a use once toy for most.<p>Seeing Facebook further latch onto our faces fills me with dread. I don’t think we will interact with each other in VR with business or pleasure outside of some fringe groups.
More fads, more ewaste…<p>AR on the other hand, either as a small projector or special glasses — that is exciting.
