Having briefly tried a Rift DK2 and been left unimpressed, the media and internet hype since has made this whole VR thing sound like the greatest human achievement since the first moon landing. So over Easter I was shopping in central London with the missus and by chance got the opportunity to queue up and try the Vive (it was that or more women's cloths shops so wasn't a tough decision).
In all honesty, and I'll keep this short, I still don't get it. Completely "meh" to me. Someone else in the queue was going on about how great it will be for movies? Seriously? For me, watching movies is a sociable experience (unless very rarely I'm watching by myself). So why would I want to sit there with silly goggles on? Absolutely no chance. Ever. Perhaps if I was single and lived alone I would feel differently and perhaps that's the issue - I'm just getting too old to care about any of this now. Bear in mind though, that I've never owned a Bluray player (DVD quality is more than enough for me), and would never have dreamed of buying a 3D TV so maybe I'm just not the target audience. |
