I never understood that part at all. I mean, who will be watching? Is it just you knowing that you look stupid (for whatever reason one would think that), even if there isn't anyone to see? It's not really innovation. It has been tried before and it was known more or less what it will take to have it. Since Palmer figured it out that you can use the screens of phones to do it (you could call that inovation), and get everyone excited about it again, there has been a lot of fresh research and now we know even more what it will take to do it well. Nothing is really new with it. The head mounted display, the body tracking, the pover glove feedback thing, fans to simulate wind, 3d suround sound has been around for ages... The innovation will be in the content, games in our case, as that is waht we are interested in. |
yes,.. a lot of it is just knowing. and some fear of getting punched in the face and not seeing it come because i'm in my VR.
the content requires the hardware so you cannot (imo) call the content innovative but dismiss the hardware as not. innovation really means a new idea, method, or process that as a concequence of breaks into the market or society. a key part of innovation isn't just having an idea but having a significant impact on the market or society.
