Will VR ever become a thing?

Will VR ever become a thing?

Do they really expect you to cover 360 degrees while watching videos? Why isn't there any SFW content other than Kpop videos? Is it only good for simulation games?

I thought it would be interesting but the originality wears of in like 2 minutes.

VR will move beyond novelty when AI gets much much much more advanced.

until then, it's just a glorified viewmaster

I hope so user

>Will VR ever become a thing?
I think so, user. There are a few big draws for people to VR. Games are one big one. Porn is another big one.

Then there's sports and tv in general too. Realtime 3D modelling and texturing is becoming a thing now though the use of cameras only, which means people can be incredibly immersed and on the field with their favorite team or on the stage with their talk show host.

Here's a vid showing the 3d modeling. Not the SIGGRAPH one I was looking for but you get the point.

Just face it, people only want to play shooting games or have great quality, interactive porn, and VR will eventually become full-body suspended suits designed to accommodate all 5 senses. Games are already a reality for head sets, so that just leaves porn. So i predict that we will successfully grow an artifical human (which can be sold) before the creation of an AI capable of suiting the needs in full body VR systems. Thus completely ruining the demand for VR.

yes. Especially after the working class is replaced by machines.

when the majority of the planet is sitting around in their storage units collecting universal basic income, virtual reality is going to become a nice escape.

you won't be able to physically travel to see new sights, you'll probably rarely even leave your storage unit. you'll just sit down, jack in, and be whisked away to a magical world beyond imagination.

you'll spend more time plugged in than not because you won't have anything else to do anyway. you don't have a job. there are no jobs for people with your mental capacity (this isn't an insult; the majority of the world won't be working at this point). you don't have a car because you don't have any savings or anywhere to go. you hang out with your friends in the metaverse. you read books (and consume all forms of media) in the metaverse. gaming is in the metaverse, exercise is augmented through the metaverse, sex is simulated in the metaverse.

it'll basically be a digital purgatory, or perhaps something closer to heaven, a way to keep generations of unemployables occupied as they age and die, preventing reproduction, until there is again a manageable population on the planet.

VR is absolutely happening and it's going to be great. It's going to end rioting, protesting, civil disobedience, it'll put an incredible dent in crimes of desperation. VR is going to save our world.

Until holograms are a thing VR will be a shitty meme.

actually, for that matter, more than likely the remaining white collar jobs will also be accessed through the metaverse. at the very least, the "office park" will, for the most part, cease to exist. commuting to work for a desk job will probably die off as a concept within the next 20 years. need to go to an office meeting? metaverse. company-issued VR units will be as common as Lenovo Thinkpads. people on Sup Forums will probably argue over which Lenovo VR unit is the most aesthetic.

yes

just wait 2 more gens until it hits its stride with price/performance

Do 3 & 6 have any special standing in the group, or are they just really short, thus the heels?

Looks like it's just because they're short user

>collecting universal basic income

i think you mean bullets, user.

>but the originality wears of in like 2 minutes.
gee who wouldve thought trying and experiencing sumthin removes originality

Just got off 奉課後輪姦中毒 and I have to say, anyone (targeting weebs especially) who hasn't yet came buckets in VR is really missing out.

There's a good number of VR H-games that got VR updates/mods/releases since the beginning of 2016 and I will say that this year is going to be a good time to own a VR headset.

>Will VR ever become a thing?
Do you live under a rock?

VR is already a thing and it's used extensively in industry.

>Why isn't there any SFW content other than Kpop videos?
There's lots of SFW content. What the fuck are you talking about?

>implying Kpop is even SFW

Resident Evil 7 VR looks pretty based.

VR will end up taking off, but it will be a slow process as the technology improves. The only thing that will really catapult VR mainstream early would be high quality VR porn (and devices to go with it) at a price affordable by the middle class. Games are great and all, but VR really only works for first person games, which is just a small slice of the game market. Unless they can make photorealistic VR, where you can just simulate sitting in front of a TV and playing on a console without it feeling out of place. But that is still a ways off. We'd need 120Hz 4K VR headsets and GPUs that can handle that load if we truly want photorealistic VR. That kind of tech is probably ~10 years off.

Here are some of the things VR will destroy or impact:
Museums
Real-Estate agents
Cruise ships
Tourism
Movie theaters
Arcades
Porn
Prostitution (who will pay for it when you can use internet connected dildos and fleshlights to e-fuck people?)
Schools (if you can just attend VR classes, who needs teachers anymore? the computer can even figure out areas you are lacking and generate a curriculum for you!)
Crime (it will drop sharply because people are too busy fulfilling VR fantasies)

every one of them has had plastic surgery. crazy,

The majority of koreans have plastic surgery. Its about as crazy as a fat american.

>commuting to work for a desk job will probably die off as a concept within the next 20 years. need to go to an office meeting? metaverse
People said this when the telegraph was invented. They said this when the telephone was invented. They said this when the fax machine was invented. They said this when videoconferencing was invented. They said this when the PC came, when the internet became popular, when voip became popular, when videochats became cheap, when 3g came. But this time it'll happen for sure, right?

Plastic surgery is very common in Korea.
You'd have a harder time trying to find a woman who hasn't had it.

>You'd have a harder time trying to find a woman who hasn't had it.
That's not true. Just look for the uglies.

>You'd have a harder time trying to find a woman who hasn't had it.
that's why I'd never date a korean woman.

I'm afraid there are other factors preventing you from ever dating a Korean woman.

6 is by far the hottest.

You do know you're just explaining the world Ready Player One is based in right?

Or we could just start eating the elite, I think that sounds more fun.

>that's why I'd never date a korean woman.
Koreans won't let you date a korean woman

What a shitty future concept.
We gon be cyberpunk style in the next couple of decades with all them RGB LEDs and moving into Neuro interfaces
with Augmentation and AI. VR will have its place but only through drones and cameras where it has actual use. VR kinda sucks. AR is where we start hitting it out of the ballpark.

I go outside for the first time in years. Virtual Reality changed everything.

Waifu Sex Simulator sparked a revolution. Every conflict in the world abruptly ended as everyone was too busy fapping.

As i walk down the overgrown street, I see what appears to be Zoe Quinn She sits on the side of the curb dying, "C-um c-c-cum I-I need cum" she says in a pathetic voice. Much of her kind died after Waifu Sex Simulator release, with no cum to nourish them, sluts began to starve out. SJWs began to crumble into dust as everyone was too busy fapping to give them attention.

As I walk further on down, I see others. I notice that there are very few children amongts them,Waifu sex simulator made actual sex obsolete, an entire generation was never born. The world population has droppend significantly overcrowding is no longer an issue.

Bill nye comes out with his cock in hand and declares that global warming has ended, the sea levels recede. With no more goverment, we can start over. A new costitution is drafted. No more Tyranny.

Due to everyone fapping, we all forgot about Ebola

It seems that the population of Africa has been completely oblitared

The world is finally ready to move on

Thank you based Lewd Fraggy

>waifu sex simulator
>mfw it actually exists

It also fucking sucks, people who actually jerk off to it are entry level fags who get off to shit lowpoly SFM models and Minecraft player skins.

#2 is the best girl

i think i have just orgasmed in my underwear

>I'm afraid there are other factors preventing you from ever dating a Korean woman.
korean women are whores. they'll fuck anything
