That's a good intro talk about UI and UX for VR. Great for those who had never worked with UI/UX before.

[@AlexxMk2]

What they're saying maybe obvious to some, it's not too all. And hindsight is a wonderful thing. Sadly many seem to forget that.

great video!

[@dotails]

That 47:00 was basically Microsoft's response to small field of view, "even though you say you want it, it doesn't really matter."" This is wrong. We want it because we want to be immersed in the environment on the same level as RL. 110 degrees doesn't cut it.

Really great video. Some wonderful insights into the conflict between trying to guide the user around a dynamic space while keeping the locomotion / animation to a minimum, at the risk of discomfort and nausea.

This talk was a waste of my life. You guys sound like you're 2 years behind on VR UI design.

[@dejayrezme8617]

+LordNapalm Talk should have been "mirroring 2D UI paradigms in VR". This sounds very conservative and not very innovative. This also REALLY shows why they should have bundled the touch controller and used to to improve usability and accessibility. Imho.
