It was way more realistic and convincing than I thought it would be.
The boxing simulator is intense. Got my heart pumping after 3 rounds and it seemed like it was actually as good as a boxing simulator can be without actually punching you. The physics on the speed bag was surprisingly accurate.
I liked being able to just watch tv and stuff at any angle I wanted to (although it feels like you have to be sitting upright for viewable media as opposed to being able to lay down and look straight up.
This seems like it’s going to be a serious game changer in many ways. I get that the whole intent of it is so friends can play stuff together in a more shared way, but fuck if it doesn’t feel great to just have my own fucking space to just shut the rest of the world out for a few minutes
This is the danger. Just like Ready Player One, real life won’t be able to compete with a life designed to be just how you want it. Why not design your actual life just how you want it? You can do it.
It’s a tool just like anything else. You can use it for learning a foreign language, working up a sweat, learning how to deal with fear of heights, or you can just beat off to the amazing VR porn that’s out there all day haha
