I have never used Bigscreen (just had access to a Rift for a couple weeks) but I'm not surprised by this investment. When I played around with it, despite the several gaming options available, the most compelling experience I had in VR was just a pretty mundane casino game where I played poker. That above all else sold me on the potential of VR. As long as people think about VR just as immersive gaming, the potential is going to be limited. But what the casino VR experience taught me was that even something completely mundane like playing a game of cards could be far more immersive and more entertaining in a VR setting; if I had 5 friends over at home with me, I would've much rather plugged in with them into this beautiful virtual casino then dealt with shuffling cards at home in real life. Can't wait to be able to get the hands on my own VR device to see everything that Bigscreen has to offer!
Hopefully the goggles will become comfortable and we ll be able to take them off easily. We ll get used to the escape. It will become as commonplace and unremarkable as headphones
You already escaped reality. Your entire life is a video game, in which you erased your memory and went back to live in early twenty-first century earth, the peak of humanity's uncertainty about the future, near the end of scarcity. When you "die," you will wake up on the orbital platform where you were born six hundred years ago. You've already played this game four times.
