We haven figured out the wearable yet as Mace said in some other post. You did right? Glass is downright awkward, Siri is funny too and S Gaer solves a problem I don't have.<br /><br />Also 50% of us will get motion sick..<br /><br />Still Mace, yeah, of cause I too want to believe it though..Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987423721037603110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898384.post-60591318358817225122014-03-30T10:22:22.419-07:002014-03-30T10:22:22.419-07:00They will never solve the brain isolation problem ...They will never solve the brain isolation problem with this headset so this whole discussion is academic.

Facebook is under pressure to justify its valuation and to look like it knows how to keep growing its user base and their engagement.<br /><br />I watched too many companies in the dot com era make huge acquisitions. That was an attempt to reset the books and postpone the moment of accountability by a few more years.<br /><br />I hope FB investors know what their money is buying...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898384.post-45260252417079813562014-03-27T20:48:46.390-07:002014-03-27T20:48:46.390-07:00One question you failed to answer or ask is what i...One question you failed to answer or ask is what is the job that VR is hired to do?<br />What problem is it solving?<br /><br />Game world was created by nerds because Evolution doesn't allow them to interact with bullies and girls in an equal manner.<br />So whole idea that they will define Social is a sick joke.<br /><br />So we have a fantasy world created and VR is an extension of that.<br />Only way you can sell to the rest of the Alphas is if it provides some kind of reward from the brain<br />that the normal people are not getting from real world.<br /><br />Humans evolved the plains of African 4 million years ago.<br />Artificial Light was not there to disrupt their sleep cycle.<br />Now you are going to have vision system and balance be effected by VR. No tech can solve the problem of Evolution.<br /><br />The real problem Facebook is trying to solve is one of growth. This is same reason Amazon doesn't show any profit every quarter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
