Ask HN: Will VR (Oculus) be a hit?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9807455I want to do something for VR devices, but many reviews seem to be negative, saying it will be doomed as soon as being launched.
I want to ask your opinion on VR (not necessarily oculus)?
I have tried both oculus dk1 and dk2 briefly. but I wear heavy prescription glasses, I don't think they are very friendly to shortsightedness. I can't see clearly if I take off my glasses, but if I wear them, oculus pushes my glasses too close to my face.
looking around within a game feels great, but as soon as I move in the game (with keyboard), I start to feel dizzy.
But I see its potential in non-game use cases. I think it could replace monitors. But I never had a chance to wear it long enough to tell.
Will you feel dizzy if you use it to watch a movie? which is relatively static? how about coding with it or painting? Will you buy it when it's out?
