Glad to finally be able to watch the full talk! This was great 😃

[@utkarshmishra3066]

great conversation .. as someone starting late in VR, its amazing to learn how it reached here from the OGs

[@AWEXR]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@varshneydevansh]

9:25 just loved it

[@El_Diablo_12]

24:00 He would start a VR in the adult entertainment space lol - genius

[@duckyTV]

Lmao Palmer throwing major shade at Pimax at 27:35

[@markkovalcson7243]

LOL! Couldn't be...

[@WooootSD]

"old" guys can have ideas too :D I'm 54, and have an idea on how to solve VR locomotion and motionsickness. :D

[@SvenTheViking]

He doesn’t mean older people don’t have good ideas, just that nobody cares about us :).

[@SomniumSpaceVR]

We would be happy to chat!

[@WooootSD]

@@SomniumSpaceVR Hi - sent Artur a message on your discord.

[@xGaLoSx]

There have been studies done on scientists and their age when making their biggest contributions. What they found is that most people's best work and best ideas happen in their 20s. There's a great Einstein quote that lends itself to their findings - "A person who has not made his great contribution to science before the age of 30 will never do so" He was right and the data proves it.

[@SvenTheViking]

@@xGaLoSx Right as a general rule, though as you say, "most" rather than "all".

[@A-ri5gh]

@4:17 at least he tells the truth

[@mariorossi9300]

As long as your HMD is cheaper than a XTAL3mr Palmer, I'll get a unit on release day.

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

good luck

[@H.DISTRICT]

I’d be down for a BigscreenBeyond Palmer edition

[@ParadiseDecay]

Noice!

[@xGaLoSx]

I was an early supporter as well. Had DK1 and DK2. Havent touched VR once since DK2 because i knew we were so far away from the bare minimum i needed to enjoy it. We still arent there a decade later.

[@papaspooks8531]

quest 2 has been a ton of fun for me so far, but i mostly play arcade-style games that work really well with the lower end SoC hardware on it. you should try the newer standalone stuff! my favorite game is called eleven table tennis and it's actually made me a much better ping pong player

[@gabgaudreau]

Nothing but a tease presentation..we already know that he's working on a headset ((disappointed))

[@saulghim2661]

Given Anduril, people did (and myself a bit too, honestly) set themselves up for disappointment. Of course it was going to be an IVAS competitor. Oh well.

[@trancemuter]

this guy is evil, autonomous weapon systems? shit!

[@stephan_dsr]

He is building it for his country. You think the ohter countries wont build it and try to use it against your country?

[@MicroSBs]

@@stephan_dsr best part is at yet no cost to the tax payer upfront. He just makes a product and offers it up for sale. Unlike the big companies which pillage us dry before something is even on paper.

[@chronokoks]

@trancemuter you're such a loser
