"VR"

I don't know about you guys but I am fucking tired of people calling two monitors in your eyes VR .

Virtual reality should be a simulated consciousness or at least a simulation of all five senses .

If VR is just sight and sound , the TV and Radio are virtual reality as well.

The Only thing that seems appealing to me is the privacy this kind of thing could give you , it could add to the immersion but in no way is this close to VR .

What do you guys think ? are you interested in this new technology , are you picking it up , has anyone tried it ?

[Yuni]

I'm very interested in it, personally. I haven't had the funds to casually pick one up (or a real reason to use one), but I don't mind the name. It's the closest we've COME to virtual reality, and from what I know it really spikes the immersion.

Pretty much the same for me.

I already get motion sickness in FPS sometimes. with such "glasses" I probably would hurl all the time

I'll probably wait until the second or third generation of Oculus Rift before I get totally invested. By then I'm sure it'll be down to a much lighter helmet. Also I imagine the refresh rate and pixel rate will be much higher leading to less motion sickness. At the moment it just seems gimmicky and in its beginnings. But its a step in the general direction right? Would be nice to eventually wind up with holo-decks like Star Trek.

word, a friend of mine has the oculus rift, we havent touched it since the first roller coaster simulations....

[pinky6225]

interested yes but virtual reality has been the next big "thing" for about 2 decades now so not actually expecting anything

[shane4244]

There is sense of presents when using VR with a good application that can not be described without actually experiencing it (especially the sense of scale) it can not be achieved by any other current media. I have no problem using the term "VR" when describing it. The only thing truly lacking from the experience is a tactile feel of your environment. I don't do it anymore but anytime I have someone try it out for the first time the first thing they want to do is reach out with there hands and grab something that's not there.

[sen4mi]

I imagine "3d" or "stereoscopic" might be better descriptive terms, though that leaves out the animated side of things.

 

But the low resolution of these devices sort of bothers me.

[dult]

I'mma just be that guy: If there's VR sexlab, I'm gonna get it. More seriously, I love the potential of the machine, and honestly, we really only want two senses for most VR. Sight and sound are great, but if you're playing a horror game you probably don't really want touch or smell. And taste's nice, but. . . well, to use Skyrim as an example, do you really want to taste ALL those potion ingredients you're eating?

 

So yeah, it is the minimum level of Virtual Reality.... but for most things that minimum level's all we really want.

 

 

 

 

Also, touch would be scary if we could feel every angle on our 3d lover's model.

Your 3d lover has angles?

What is this, 1990?

Mine would have curves!

 

On topic though, VR is pointless to me without tactile feedback. Not necessarily for the erotic aspect, but just for actually interacting with the world you're seeing.

I haven't tried VR thingies before, but one Oculus Rift got pre-ordered yesterday! It's going to be a long, long wait till it finally ships in April. I'm feeling like a kid waiting three months too early for Christmas.

 

I wonder what Skyrim and FNV are going to look like in VR?!! I know they won't be very smooth experiences, not being originally designed with VR in mind at all. Still, I'm very much looking to try Sexout and Sexlab in a completely new way...

[joemonco]

It's a gimmick.  An excuse to get you to spend $600 for tech that will probably make you nauseated from gaming just like 3D movies give certain people headaches.  On the bright side, you can probably hack it together with some of these toys from Japan and have fun.

[Ziron]

I tried it at pax, the fact that it tracks your head movement and you can look at the headrest for seat of what ever cockpit your in is pretty cool, you also get a sense of vertigo if you fall.  but it's so close to your face that you can see the pixels and it has a screen door effect.  they gotta put 4k panels in those thing but then you would need 1200 bucks worth of video cards to run it.

[Loveryus]

I tried both the google cardboard version aswell as a vr glass at a microsoft store and an oculus rift on a game of thrones exhibition.

it's a lot of fun, because it really gives you the feeling to be somewhere else thanks to the amazing head tracking. i was so stunned at the game of thrones event that i forgot that i was standing in a tiny cabin and ran into the cabin wall. so it's a big step in the right direction to me. now comes the downside... motion sickness is like a real issue. and i don't get that easiely. after enjoying the google cardboard vr glasses with my smartphone for like 30 minutes i was dizzy for a long time including the next day. i didn't watch too crazy stuff. after being at that microsoft store, where i virtually sat in a rollercoaster for like 3 minutes I really felt motion sick. it went away after 15 minutes in reality.

 

great about vr is that with an effordable 360 camera you can save a moment in time and reexperience it later. just imagine your mum dies and 30 years later you can still find yourself next to her in the living room thanks to this technology...

 

I think it's a great step forwards if you want to enjoy stuff like vr porn or things that don't cheat your brain too much. When jumping out of a helicopter while lying in bed you definitely have some issues and unnecessary adrenalin in your veins.

ocullus is a VR but is a primitive one, what you people are talking about are called Full imersion VR or fulldive and yes, its being researched.

Itll actually put the user to sleep and use the brain as a console (like a lucid dream)

Last year a company developed a sensorial responce prostetic that can not only be comanded by the brain like a real arm, but also has touch sensation, so Full imersion Vr isnt so far away and there are groups researching it for several reasons the 3 biggest ones are:

 

1) accelerate military training and experience, since that machine conects to the mind, it can analize patterns and develop intelligent AI that cant interfere oputside the simulation but can be inpevisible and make its own strategies.

 

2) Time dilatation for companies and researches, time is related to its perception, thats why during high addrenaline release situations, people react faster and sometimes see stuff on Slow motion, this tecnology would allow people to do a weeks worth work on some hours.

 

3) money and entertainment, obviously it would give a shitload of profit for games companies if they could just create  artificial universes where the developers ake gods. Also people could probably create theyr personal digital space.

 

Now LL aplications:

 

1) create a virtual perverted paradise of sex, maybe like LL island from The big board of fun.

 

2) allow members that became friends to hang out and have fun even if they live on oposite sides of the world.

 

3) motivate LL moders to unite and make an erotic RPG for the comunity on a separated virtual space that need invitations to access and with a huge "were not responsable for you fucking up"  warning for legal reasons.

 

BTW its expected for rhe research to end. untill 2027
