Yah – I’m not valuing any opinion from a man this age in glasses like that.

I’m from 2035. This tech is being implemented into Quests, Apple visions, and Xreal glasses currently. I was sent back to say I told you so.

Can you imagine the price tag on this!? 😂 Then your hair has to be a certain length. Cool concept but YEARS from retail

I would rather enjoy real life by having real experiences not artifically but hey, each to their own.

Me too, I enjoy real life too, but unfortunately in real life I can’t drive a racing car or go to mars, so I quite enjoy the VR experience too.

I’m mentally disabled in real life. Couldn’t join the Military, I want to play as a soldier or a Navy seal operator. We just want to escape bro

many people spend large amounts of time scrolling the internet on there phones (often alone). this is no different than tv or video games, or social media. you can still go outside

I have this theory that if you can get control with your brain working you dont need full read write access. If we can relax our bodies and use our brain to control movement and interaction, our brains will fill in the haptic sensations.

Yes, many people already feel phantom sense in VR.

Hey David, Banner, your eyes are glowing green. I think you got exposed to gamma rays. You wore those headsets too long. There’s no way I’m gonna buy that thing.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t think the audience in these comments understand that this is research. Every piece of tech we have now was well researched once. The future is optimistic in my eyes
Hadeks Marow
July 6, 2023 at 2:16 pm
Yeah, while you are correct, what that optimism doesn’t take into account however, is how many forms of “innovation” have been researched just to have been dropped due to the very concept not being very practical in the end as a means of replacing what we already had.
At one point, “half-circle wheels” were researched to replace basic bike wheels. “Split wheels” they called them. Not all things being studied end up being worth the hassle of studying them. However, many studies like those I referenced have led to breakthroughs in other seemingly unrelated areas. Classic example is how velcro being the result of a failed military experiment for the “hook-and-loop”.

I’m glad this failure of an idea is getting a comeback. It will have no use-case/application for anything other than accessibility for the inpaired/disabled. . . but I am glad it’s returning _”again”._
Smitty Vanjagermanjenson
July 6, 2023 at 1:27 pm
No use cases for regularly abled people? Ha that’s a laugh. This tech will be the ultimate way to interface with future smart glasses.
Hadeks Marow
July 6, 2023 at 1:59 pm
@Smitty Vanjagermanjenson Yeah, just like how “VR is the future of gaming”. Anything that’s different is the future for as long as it is “new”. . . but when it becomes old and the novelty wears off, the obtuse over-cumbersome nature of the action becomes apparent in how more annoying and less convenient the action is rather than being more practical than the pre-existing alternatives that we already had and are more accustomed to. A gimmick that overstays it’s welcome becomes obsolete. Like that of pentagon-shaped tires or using watercolored paint to replace printer ink.
Or perhaps you don’t get that these kind of devices require alot of training first from the individual users thought patterns and THEN require alot of focus just to interface with it WHENEVER you are trying to use it. This is apposed to hand and voice gestures which require no focus and are effortless actions. Just try to focus on a picture of a pumpkin pie in your head for 10 seconds straight without dropping the thought. That level of concentration is annoying AF, which is how these models operate. Saying the word “fire” out loud to shoot a pretend bullet for example: As an action, it is a much less demanding of an action than saying the word “fire” in your head. This is because to get a strong reading of the fire thought pattern requires alot more focus.

@Smitty Vanjagermanjenson read it again
Hadeks Marow
July 6, 2023 at 5:29 pm
@Machiel van Dijk Nah, ‘e read it right, they just happens to have the wrong guess. I would call it the wrong “opinion”. . . but putting all your chips on blue when the roulette table only consists of black, red and green. . . that’s not an opinion, that’s just a mistaken sense of judgement.
_(I am assuming you are referring to their first reply and that there wasn’t some second reply that they deleted that I didn’t notice)_

Why is no one talking about 1983 movie Brainstorm ? 40 years ahead of it’s time.

Exactly what I hoped would be developed once, hope it will. Am too disabled to control VR hope something like this will fix this once.

Anybody ever watched the movie ‘Brainstorm’ ? They predicted this in 1982
Jason Tang
July 8, 2023 at 11:03 pm
It’s only imagination earlier had to make the movie, everyone have imagination and idea and somehow when it became big it will become reality in the future, and to add it up this VR is not even researched on this era, even in old era they researched VR but failed so you might need to check your intelligence and history before being stubborn 🙂

Is it under $3499? If it’s under $350, I’ll check it out. If it’s free, I’ll beta test it for a month.

what happend if they discovered that tech that they can send signal’s to the brain
it will be revolutionary and the 1st gen of new full dive vr that have all sense & it will help people with disabilities, they will be happy and feel like blessed
imagine people with disabilities discovering ultra realistic world and can do parkors

Like Gabe Newell said, this will be an extinction level event for all other forms of media and entertainment consumption. Next few years are going to be absolutely mind-blowing.
