VR: Pull the trigger or wait to purchase?

article image placeholderVR:  Pull the trigger or wait to purchase?
The graphics are really good. It really is Immersive. The helmet still weighs a lot. They haven't improved, that all that much. But it has come away from the very first Oculus that I tried on years ago. And like beta form, you watch a lot of Immersive 360 videos and the game demos and everything. I've downloaded some games that are really cool. So my question is that's view taking the plunge with PlayStation, VR or Oculus or any other one

Hey, Kyle, I'm actually waiting for the right software on the VR headsets. For me, the two biggest use cases that I'm waiting for are travel and education is education. As a parent, I know that I will end up immediately buying something if it teaches my child concepts in a more physical sphere and travel, because that means that I can see places in the world that I may never be able to see otherwise

The headsets become more lightweight, and I think we're probably about five years away from a truly optimal VR experience, but I still love it. Richie's Plank Challenge I recommend that to you since you got the Oculus Quest, too. Grab that it's like, I think it's $14 and see if it cripples you. If you have a fear of heights, watch what happens to you

We got a novice over here!

Kyle, I'm so glad you shared this. First of all, Congratulations. Very exciting. Second of all, I had my first really good VR experience a couple of years ago when I was at this exhibit at this Estonian, and it was so cool, especially for a literature nerd like myself, because it was a recreation of James Joyce's book Ulysses, but was like a VR world and you're walking through the world anyways

So Bowie, I have a moment to answer because I just left the Walgreens. We're down the beach for Alison's birthday weekend. We needed laundry detergent, so I got sent out like an Aaron boy. Yeah. Now I'm sitting here watching cars go by by, and I happen to listen to this. I figured I would take a moment to answer. The Oculus Quest. Two is a standalone unit

There's got to be someone out there or maybe a YouTube video series. I've or something that's covering the application of VR with journalism. Feel free to reply back with anything you find there. And thanks for the replies, guys

Kyle. I absolutely love the Oculus Quest, too. And I love that you called it a helmet. Amazing. I hope you're enjoying your experiences
