VR seemed like it would be exciting, but in a small room and being older it is difficult to not hit something or to not get some sort of vertigo and feel sick. It just isn’t for me despite really wanting it to be!
As a kid in the 1990s I was really hyped up about the concept of VR, but lacked the ridiculously expensive gear to try any of the interesting stuff that was out there.
Nowadays I'm idly interested in the concept of VR, but lack the ridiculously expensive gear to try any of the interesting stuff that's out there.
What is the interesting stuff you’re interested in? The only things that appeal to me would be Star Wars flight sims, being a superhero of some kind, or that survival game in the Alien universe.
In general this was my experience as well. There is one important exception for me which was Google Earth. Being able to sit in a chair and drag a huge model of the earth beneath me and view distant places like I was a bird is just magnificent. Doesn’t make me motion sickness the way most games do.
Oh, that’s interesting! My son has the MetaQuest3 and I wonder if that’s available for that to try out some time. Might be cool!
