On the other hand we never had so much knowledge.

Your comment reads as an excuse in why it's okay that we are that slow.

Huh?

I only know one person who used bis VR set extensively like for 2-3 month and then falled back to play egoshooters.

'a lot of people' != Not market relevant

That's cool but try jumping in to Pavlov or VRChat on a Friday night and then tell me there isn't a thriving community. It's not mainstream but it definitely isn't dead.

And how many active people can you find there in comparison to all apple iphone owner?

You're trying to compare Apples to Oranges here, VR is still pretty early on in its development. Like Motorola DynaTAC[0] early. The iPhone of VR is probably still 2 decades out. We're still figuring out our UI metaphors and trying to reach a critical mass of competent users where it's possible to just "call" someone up in VR without first asking if they have a headset, asking if they know how X app works, figure out where to meet etc. It's like trying to get someone to email you in the early 90s.

Trying to compare this nascent technology to the iPhone is really disingenuous, there are probably a billion iPhone users worldwide. I'd struggle to count on one hand branded devices that have the same number of users.

I bought an HTC vive pro + wireless + index Ctrl.

I did that to play around as I was playing with 3d programming and I'm a nerd.

And while friends and family know that and a few tried it out for a little bit and liked it, no one cares.

Which is fine but it is a gimmick.

I was hoping it would get more traction with real life training like how to use a lathe but nothing really came out or is in some internal companies.

It's inhuman.

It's gimmicky?

I'm really curios of Fashion conces people really like avatars. I don't think so and I also don't think that the apple brand is a good fit for it.

Real life Avatars with light enhancements will also be weird I think

Let's see.

I do not share.your enthusiasm.

Apple buyers are not necessarily tech savvy (from a percentage perspective).

They use their high end phones for normal consumer things.

I have a hard time imagining what a normal person would want to do with VR/are glasses.

Showing your face in a Videochat? Not being able to show your face?

Playing games?

I would assume that there is still a lot of apple people not playing anything than casual games.

You understand how big Ms is right?

Their hardware like the Xbox or surface are not crappy.

Is this just trolling?

I did a little bit of 3d modeling.

Your shortcuts are your bread and butter and you are super fast.

Perhaps for sculpting.

Funny enough: the trust in darknet comes from customer ratings, seller deposit and moderators.

Not from Bitcoin.

A great example on why 'trust' only works for everything inside the Blockchain only.

> A great example on why 'trust' only works for everything inside the Blockchain only.

Having a “trustless” component at the core of a Blockchain has made us all re-examine the places where we deeply rely on trust for real interaction. It is ironic how “trustless” technology is so apt for scamming if you can trigger peoples desire for wealth at the same time. “You don’t have to trust me” was always a great bait for a victim who takes trust for granted. You just need to say high numbers and people will wire money to you.

I know plenty of software engineer who not even click away the GitHub information banner for weeks.

I don't think VR headsets will not take off as display alternatives.

People don't even care about highdpi.

It's not crap just because you don't see a benefit.

In my opinion, additional being a curios software engineer I find it quite interesting.

Necessary? Perhaps not but helpful.

Heating valves for example.

Not that I’m terribly experienced with it, but a lot of home automation can be done without “IoT” — specifically without the crapware Trojan controllers that come with consumer solutions from Best Buy. ISY994 for example. Easy solutions for remote access via apps (vpn to home) and notifications as well. It’s not as easy to set up as a plug and play controller from Google, but it’s far more private.

I include your example.

The definition of iot from Wikipedia also does it.

But honestly why I hate my iot window blinds device it's the perfect excuse to use vlan at home.
