One thing I find sad is that a lot if folms treated VR as just another tech fad and ditched it for crypto when that became the fad. Now a bunch of the same folks are following AI. Especially sad when fad chading meant ditching code and community for the next best thing only to abandon it again. It feels like the fad chasing means the fad in question doesn't get a fair chance to actually accomplish it's potential.
@mauve I always felt like the best approach to VR was Google Cardboard.
Getting good enough to justify a second, very expensive device purchase is an insanely high bar that only the megacorps can afford to reach for, and that’s why they make that the whole game.
Hacking together a VR experience for your phone to provide 15-30 minutes of headspinny fun, that’s a VR ecosystem and experience that practically everyone can participate in.
@erlend Yeah, I used to bring my cardboard around to conferences and show off my web based dev environment. These days I'm working towards using "steam deck" form factor computers with consumer head mounted displays like the Rokid Max and am working towards using @stardustxr for the spatial computing part
