So a Muslim could cut your head off while you think you are rafting the Colorado.

An interesting long-range goal, but I think Microsoft’s approach is actually the better one for the near term. Let’s start with VR being an “augmented reality” system that enhances the real world rather than constructing a complete VR world.

Of course, Microsoft’s approach seems to be geared at the scientific/tech level - i.e., for industrial or research use, and Oculus Rift is focused on home/entertainment use, so they have different objectives. I’m just not sure the tech is there for Oculus Rift yet.

I can just see it now... They’ll integrate smartphones with these VR goggles and the smartphone zombies (as I call them) will be even more out to lunch as they walk in and out of traffic at crosswalks.

Oliver Stone’s “Wild Palms” previewed this 20 years ago.

Great mini-series, very worth watching.

Bringing the real world to VR?

I'm happy enough without it.
