I just got myself the Quest 2 for $299 at local retail. I've been stuck in VRChat and with the thing on my face every moment I have off since. It's crazy how good it is for the affordable price. It's like being in a different world. I'm sure the novelty will wear off on me soon, but I am deep in it right now.

own, separate state of consciousness (perhaps one could argue that this exists today).

Bought one for my 14 yr old daughter for Christmas. Would like my own
set now. :-) --

Becareful, if there ever was a device for mind control, your wearing it. I imagine it is made in China. China has thought crimes, China openly practices mind control. I have seen and heard others with the same over embleshied zeal for the device. It seems a bit dangerous. If it picks up human alpha waves, they can tell what emotions are responding with in relation to what your looking at, at that time.
So yes it is possible to use the Occulous to read your mind.
Yes I do realize I am probably full of crap! But it is true that governments, corporations, and religions will take any opportunity to control the general citizenry.
they dont want to read your mind. they want to tell you
what to think. they've already shown that they can tell
millions how to think and how to behave via the media.
they dont need some stupid vr for that. -+-
Nice to see the prices coming down. I bought the HTC Vive when it first came out - I think I paid at least 2x, plus had to have a machine that could run it.

It took me maybe 3 or 4 weeks, but the honeymoon period is over now, and when I get in VR now I get bored easily, especially in VRChat where the wonder of exploring strange new worlds and meeting new and intresting people became visitng the same sleezy bars and trying to avoid all the shitty people, much like reality.
I'm not sure Virtuality will be that big of a paradime shift from Smartphones, but the confusion of when someone is in netspace or meatspace will get confusing for sure.

I haven't had much of a chance to use VR so it's still an intriguing technology to me. I was recently able to pick up a PS5 so I will definitely purchase PSVR2 when it's eventually released. I really would like to see big AAA games such as Cyberpunk 2077 adapted for VR.

Shooting and attacking is so wildly different in so many of these experiances, I always want something that models realistic firing mechanics so every time I get something that doesn't do that my disappointment is immesurable, exceptions being classic games adapted
to VR like Half-life and Doom.
