Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise
jedibob5@lemmy.world 5 days agoI like how RealD looks well enough, but the glasses tended to give me a mild headache after a while. I’ve been able to wear VR headsets without much issue in the handful of times I’ve been able to try them, so maybe that would work better, but I don’t think I’ve actually worn one for multiple hours at a time, so who knows.

Yeah, when I first started VR back with my DK2, I could only wear that about 2 hours at a time. Over the years, not sure how much of it was me adapting to it and how much was VR headsets and aftermarket mods getting better, but I can and often do, spend 16 hours a day in VR now.
VR has replaced almost every screen in my life. I watch TV and movies on it, I play my traditional computer games on it(flat or 3D or fully converted to 3rd or 1st person VR), as well as my native VR games. With recent headsets being able to fully bring the real world back in and blend it with the VR perfectly, I just socialize equally with the people that are actually in the same room as me, as well as people who just -seem- like they are in the same room as me.
To me and my family, it just feels normal now, my sister is also pretty much at the same point. I got her to try it a couple years ago when she was upset that certain games she wanted to play from the couch or recliner didn’t look or run well on her Steam Deck. I was like, you have an amazing computer, you could be playing those games at 4k and not have to be looking down at your hands if you just try it in VR like I do. So she did try, and she has never gone back. She uses my Quest pro, I use a Quest 3, I only modded the pro for about 8 hours runtime, since the controllers were only 8 hours anyway. But since she is mostly using it for PC games, she is generally using an xbox controller. So she just plugs the headset into a charger at her seat. Because 8 hours wasn’t enough.
Ok, well that has veered off topic, sorry.
