stop trying to make Oculus Rift a thing

Upvoted for the Mean Girls reference. Oculus Rift is going to be a real thing, though, whether we like it or not.

Oculus Rift's founder said that Virtual Desktop use of the Rift is "not a focus for us right now" in a Reddit AMA yesterday - https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3zt7ul/i_am_palmer_lu...

Followed by a comment saying web browsing in a Virtual Desktop style environment on the Rift isn't very good, and can't be due to screen resolution limitations.

That is unfortunate. But good to know, thanks.

Just wait until you can sit behind your computer and develop stuff on a beautiful beach, and use a big screen, all embedded into the VR world.

It would sure beat the crap out of my current desktop backdrop, which is mostly covered by windows anyway :)

Just wait until you walk into the family room in 5 years and each person is on his own headset doing his own thing. I love the immersion, but you need to retain a sense of shared experience that we have already lost with time shifting/binge watching.

you must be new to The Economist

all the smugness of RadioLab mixed with the talking-down-to-ness of VOX. Thanks, #content internet!

> [...] smugness [...] talking-down-to-ness

I read the entire thing and I didn't get the impression of either. In fact it even said they didn't know for sure how the passive system works but that this is one theory and then explain it.

Seemed like a good read overall and I didn't feel talked down to or anything.

Please don't do this here.

so that's why Tinder suddenly needed me to log in...
