VRFocus reports on Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey noting that 'Matrix-style' virtual reality technology may well never become a reality.
Recent findings in the latest PSVR2 software update, indicates that PlayStation is already starting to implement support for PC.
The icing on the cake would be if Sony / Valve allow for a Steam Link app much like it is for the Quest 3. Likely wishful thinking, though.
Viveport, the VR retail platform from HTC is now giving developers 90% of their game revenue, instead of a 70/30 spilt like Steam.
It could be free and it wouldn't matter at this point. There isn't really a PCVR Market and I say that as a PCVR user. It is modders and enthusiasts with a few retail products on Steam.
Warner Bros. Discovery is closing down Adult Swim Games, delisting its published games. Thus putting Rick and Morty VR in jeopardy.
Never say "Never"! At one time it was impossible to put a man on the moon! Now they're talking about putting a man on mars. http://www.mars-one.com/mis...
Already we have occular implants and auditory implants, as well as brain implants for people who suffer forms of brain damage. It's just a matter of time and technology before implants can directly stimulate aspects of a persons reality - taste, smell, sound and vision.
I reckon within the next 50 years or so the technology will be out there. It was about 50 years ago that the concept of a 'virtual reality' began to be discussed. Now it is a 'real' reality. In the next 50 years we can only begin to imaging what the experience of Virtual Reality will be. The Holo deck can't be that far away from us now.
That's very obvious. I think a lot of people who don't know better are expecting matrix style VR but will find out how very wrong they are. That's why it's not worth the price of admission. Most of these games will be on rails with limited interaction.
I can see it now the future, first person dies of VR world due to lack of food, hygiene etc. Eye site problems and headaches.
World would be less social in the real world if it became a Matrix style place.
I don't even want VR to happen. It's incredibly dumb (yes, I've tried it).
