You mention that is not good for your eyes watching things near your face. Is true, but this doesn't apply on VR headset. The reason is (Oculus for sure, all of them as far as I know) that the lenses move the focus of the screen indefinitely far away, the natural resting focus for our eyes.

[@proftobes]

came into comment section just to post the same thing. please upvote this!!

[@dmitchel0820]

If you are looking at a VR building 50m away, your eyes will physically be focused on a point 50m away. If you are looking at a horizon, both eyes will be looking straight ahead, "focused on infinity".

[@MatteoDeCarlo]

The focus of every pixel in VR is at infinity, for now. If you are looking at a spoon 1cm at your face, your eyes will be physically focused "on infinity".

[@Keitaro333]

Unless you use corrective lenses which make it focus closer (useful for nearsighted people) but yes, its not "a few inches" like some people assume.

[@robertsollorn6493]

Petey We are about 30-40 years away from this being completely possible.

[@Petey5]

Robert Sollorn Yeah that's what I had in mind. It mostly depends on funding and public interest though. The only reason we don't have people on Mars is because no one cared about space after the Cold War.

[@robertsollorn6493]

Petey I feel like there would be huge interest in this. Video Games initially gained popularity because they were both fun and offered a form of escapism, as well as a relief of stress (of course they are so much more than this today). Full Immersion Virtual Reality would offer complete escapism and huge relief of stress. Not to mention there wouldn't really be any other form of entertainment on the planet more fun than FIVR considering you can simulate every other form of entertainment in FIVR, including those which are too difficult to pursue due to time or funding problems like snowboarding or skydiving - instead of spending money and time on a trip you could just do these activities in a virtual world. Plus it would give people the ability to do things they've only ever dreamed of. Everyone has at one point wished they could fly, well FIVR would allow exactly that. It would also enhance technological and scientific advancement even further since you would be able to accurately simulate all kinds of real life problems. We would be able to create perfect worlds with our every desire and wish come to life. It would be the biggest innovation mankind has ever produced, until something later surpasses it.

[@noahbenge8649]

Dude your videos get better and better over the years. Keep it up, man!!

I think it would be cool if someone created a vr headset that acted like an augmented reality headset, where you could put it on and fully immerse yourself but then Google Project Tango kicked it and made it feel like you were still in your living room just everything was displayed virtually

[@SalimAwad7]

I think it is possible to use google cardboard as an augmented reality headset, this is the reason there's an opening for the camera lens. So I guess you just need someone to create content that takes the image from ur camera and overlay virtual stuff on top of it...

There’re also many types of VR headsets wich works differently, some do use mirrors & goggles to spread & amplify the image from a single small screen to the viewer’s eyes, while other systems do use 2 lcd screens inside it.

[@ConnorKirkby]

I have tried both Google Cardboard and the Oculus Rift. My verdict? Disappointing. I have my own Google Cardboard kit, and I have for a while now. Before trying Oculus Rift, I had only tried Google Cardboard. Google Cardboard was good, but it just wasn't good enough for a few reasons. Since Google Cardboard was really cheap and needed a smart phone, I imagined that Oculus Rift would be worlds better. But instead, when I tried Oculus Rift, I was disappointed, it was only marginally better, with the only improvements being that it's comfortable and the places where the screen doesn't go, it's completely black. Virtual reality, in its current state is disappointing and if it stays this way, it will flop after a while when it gets fully released to the public. Remember how cool motion tracking was with the Wii and Kinect? Now look where those two are, barely used at all.

[@KyleSomerset1509]

[@jadrodriguez]

I would say VR is promising rather than disappointing.

[@Petey5]

Did you try the first gen Rift? You have to remember these are development kits. the consumer products will be vastly improved, and the technology is growing astoundingly fast. In 5 years it'll be insane, trust me. Just look at the first TVs and computers and consoles, those weren't too special, but this is already becoming huge.
