VR is dead. VR is now being sold as 360 cameras

People confusing VR and 360 video in this thread should be enough to tell you that most people don't know what they fuck they're talking about when it comes to this stuff.

360 videos?

What are does?

Because he's petrified of offending the black man on the board.

C'mon man - if Tim Cook happened to come across this thread, I'm sure he would realize the folly of investing billions in a VR/AR headset that will be revealed later this year, and which he expects ultimately to replace the iPhone in 10 years.

Someone has stated that people are confusing 360 cameras with VR cameras.

I thought about this and disagree.

360 cameras are a different version of a VR camera, but none or true VR anyway.

360 is VR in the regards you can move left right up down.

360 can be done with often a front and back lenses or many lenses around such as a large ball.

If you refer to vr being a camera with two lenses at the front, but at a different angle, so when you have a headset on, you get a depth, so it feels real. However you do not get to move left or right or up and down. more point of view.

True vr would at this stage be computer soft wear, where the computer generates a full world, that where you move your head you with with a headset get a different version both left and right to give depth. And as you move your head the view changes. Also the sound would have to match. So if someone is speaking,on your left, that you hear them on your left with a tiny delay hitting your right ear. But once you look at them the sound should sound as if the person is in front of you. Of course this takes a huge amount of processing power and data.

Then play an adult VR game. Those exist, too.

I have had no interest in computer games for years.

The last time I played a computer game was probably Elite on my BBC B, I guess 1980's or 1990's.

I just do not find them interesting these days.

I did try roblox or whatever it was called last year as my mates ten year old forced me to play. But having a bunch of nine year olds kill me every 2 seconds on the game just left me depressed for the rest of the day.

Have you actually put on a VR headset? Yes, in VR (and in VR porn), you can move your head left and right, and up and down, and the scene changes accordingly. And it's also in steroscopic 3D.

And yes, as somebody else has pointed out, adult VR games already exist and are getting better.

The audio element is already in VR porn. If the girl whispers into your right ear, you hear it in your right ear.

Weren't you claiming last year to be building your own VR cam show or something?

VR is VIRTUAL. It's RIGHT IN THE FUCKING NAME! 360 video is not. That's a very major distinction and you've just laid out exactly why you don't understand the two VERY DIFFERENT concepts.
