Comment on What are your technology mispredictions?

I thought VR would be more widespread by now.

And it’s probably because of the two next things I thought as well.

I thought it would be cheaper and easier to do by now. More like a Google Glass kind of thing. But we’re still playing 4 figures for dedicated massive headsets to strap to our heads. No wonder it didn’t take off.

This was my thought as well. I really thought it would be better by now. Fingers crossed for the steam frame!

I am really grateful that Microsoft removed Windows Mixed Reality from Windows 11 and turned a lot of good headsets into trash for a while. Got an HP Reverb G2 for 120 bucks and now that works better than ever thanks to the Oasis driver that came out a few months ago.

It’s 2160p per eye and I played Half-Life: Alyx on it, which is an absolute masterpiece. And I got Virtual Home Theater and watched all of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies in full 3D SBS. Better quality than my local cinema.

The Steam frame is supposed to have the same resolution and might be 600+. I’m not paying that much for VR.
