VR is not a gimmick!

So they think it's neat and they're investigating it, but they're still sticking to the screens?

They're not using VR then.

But even if or when they start to use VR, it'll be FAR more advanced than anything you're currently pimping as "realistic".

By the way, that $6 million Ferrari simulator already has a near 360 degree screen, making VR redundant.

Uhm I dont think your understanding it. Its not just about the 360 screen. Have you used VR yet? its not just a big screen around you. That would look flat. Tehre are 360 degree videos that look like that and its not impressive.  the true 3D depth is the big deal and a very improtant part of VR.

 

The article is from march btw, so they are likely using it by now. The need to R&D first obviously scince its a brand new technology.

 

How should it be able to drive a car completly blind if VR wouldnt be realsitic?

I'm understanding it just fine, thanks. I also understand VR technology, and how the headset actually works and why phrases like "true 3D depth" are complete nonsense and can be achieved just as easily on a curved screen when the viewer is always at a fixed point, like say in the cockpit of a simulator.

I've probably used VR and simulators over my life time more than you have. Stop asking me if I tried it.
