Taught my son how to handle bullies in Blade and sorcery. Multiple enemies with drastically different fighting abilities. As well as Team building skills. The best for me is simulated high-speed drifting, racing. As well as space dogfighting in Elite dangerous. I have found sitting on an ice ring floating in space has a very peaceful sense of isolation.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

@@albinskold8792 No. It taught him to watch his back. They attack you as cowardly bullies do. I made him fight bare-handed. No blade, no magic, just hold your own as long as you can. It teaches you how to assess multiple targets. and to dodge hits from the back and side. The thrill of the fight and creed rise to glory teach him speed and technique. Seriously, they are fighting simulators. They may lack physical injury, but they make up for it in free training. Qpen your mind up dude.

One of the best thing about watching movies in VR is that even when the movies aren't in 3D, it still feels like it. When you watch videos it you zoom in enough so that the sides are almost beyond the edge of your vision, its like you are in the room or on-site watching the movie. Its a very different feel/experience than watchging the same show on TV.

[@kennethsimonsen7998]

Thanks for this input, I was wondering like 'why watch movies in VR?' But if that's true, I'm gonna' have to try that.

[@brianegendorf2023]

If you are going to copy movies to your headset, I suggest converting them to a slightly different resolution. square the horizontal resolution and divide it by the vertical resolution. That will give you a number. Change the vertical resolution to that number. And then watch it in 180 degree mode on your headset, That will allow you to "look around" the scene as its playing.

[@billm8044]

Glad it works like that for you with the VR headset. It doesn't for me. - With a large screen 65 inch 4K TV, and sitting 10 feet from the screen, I get that theater effect that you described.

I enjoy being creative. I love Tilt-Brush. I am interested in creating in 3-D and will purchase Gravity Sketch. I would very much enjoy seeing a VR interactive experience that allows one to learn a new language and learn for example, Chinese or Japanese calligraphy. As in Tilt Brush, one could practice with a virtual brush the formation of letters and then gradually advance to writing words. I believe this would attract individuals that enjoy learning. One could even be tested on certain levels, allowing one to advance. Just an idea.

[@plsdontbanmeagainyoulibtards]

bro.. lmao you have such a sugar coated view of VR. I'm sure after getting it you realized it's cool but definitely nothing "life changing". At most your hands and surroundings feel weird for a little after long sessions. It's VERY obvious when you're in VR as the technology is very far from being anything that spectacular. No matter how good the graphics might be, you will still be limited by a small FOV and relatively "low resolution". And you also have a giant device strapped to your head that even in the best possible case is far from comfortable.

[@MsGorteck]

What about surgery? I mean the actual cutting part. You already said teaching. When I was in the service the tankers practiced their skills on a arcade game that had you driving a tank.

I have the Oculus 2 and my experience with VR in general for those who have never VR before. - Feel like you're looking through a tube, the screen does not cover your complete view of vision, the corner around the screen is not in focus. - Everything looks fake or cartoon-like. - Watching movies and tv shows is great because you can adjust the screen size to your liking, except for those apps that require a social environment to watch. - Real-world destination is great for seeing new places, but you have no control over your experiences, they just pop you from one place to the next, and half of the content of the video are not in high enough resolution to really enjoy the views.

If it does, you could just buy a cheap VR googles, open your drone's app and enters its VR mode (two smaller images), put your phone into the goggles you have, and then you can fly your drone with a cheap VR goggles. If you have a goggles with HDMI slot, which could be mini HDMI or micro HDMI, then you will need a cable from your phone to that particular HDMI slot. I have an iPhone which does not have a HDMI output. However, don't worry about this. For an iPhone, just buy a Lightning to HDMI adapter (or an more expensive Apple AV adapter which has a HDMI slot), and connect your HDMI capable goggles with your iPhone with a HDMI cable. Then, when you fly your drone, the screen on the iPhone will be displayed on your goggles. If you have an Android phone, just do the same: buying an adapter from your phone to the HDMI slot.

honestly if they start offering virtual shopping that's the end of it. That's going to be extremely addictive. They need to improve what they have by 100% though, using naturalism.
