YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THE DATA, DIANE.

Funny enough after I retweeted that, a friend of mine reached out to say his team actually made that video. It's a proof of concept and they did it by taping a Quest Pro controller to the vacuum for tracking. Technically we're pretty close to being able to do this now with AI vision getting so good.

Gah. This seems to confirm most of my concerns. As he says at the end, Goggle VR/AR might just not be it. When the PSVR came out I became a massive VR fanboy, assuming the problems we were seeing would be solved with some tech upgrades. Coming up on a decade later and some very impressive tech advances, and we're still dealing with nausea and fuzzy edges. When they announced the price I was shocked, but figured if they solve all the issues it might make sense. Doesn't seem like they solved the issues though. As good as anyone has done so far, but things remain unsolved.

My biggest question for any of these non-gaming things is can it be worn comfortably for portions of a work day... and it seems like the answer is still that you'd have to be an actual freak to do it.

The movie stuff sounds very cool, and if I was a frequent flyer or stuck in a tiny Japanese apartment or dorm room for a lot of the time, it'd be a no brainer. Those are odd use cases though.
