It gets easier to hate on Oculus with the latest story.

Im missing the point on hating someone for trying to improve his techonology to that point. If that truely is his end goal in 20 years or whatever, is that better for us even if we dont use it that way?

 

Stupid statement, but im not getting the connection where im supposed to hate the guy. I think the definition of "hate" is being skewed a bit too far.

It can be argued that reality can be verified and measured by other people or even machines, so in practice this means your perception can be altered but reality remains the same.

 

Im about 5 drinks deep into this so if I completely missed the mustard then correct me. What I think you are saying is that people would, in the end, be experiencing someone's version of reality and not it in its truest sense? If this is what you are saying, I totally agree. I brought this up during of of those after-parties with slick. The discussion was about bringing far off destinations like Rome to people that could not otherwise go via VR (Slick said he was originally inspired with the idea of virtual tourism after his grandfather would watch him play Assassins Creed). It brings up an interesting paradox about accepting another coder's reality for your own. Can/should it be done? I made this point then, but people didnt seem to mind it much.
