I’m just excited about this and Hololens. If you’ve read science fiction (I have for 50 decades), we’ve been waiting for these technologies a long time.

There is so much more to invent, and more importantly manufacture and field! Can’t wait to try these technologies.

I agree complelely.

HoloLens and Oculus are the beginning of a revolution.

As just one very small example, can you imagine how it will affect business travel...or just travel in general for that matter.

On the negative side, society better be prepared a whole bunch of porn addicts.

I have as well .... but I've acquired some other logistical thought processes along the way

I forget the movie, but there was a scene where a friend of the inventer (now out to stop the use of his invention) was discovered in a chair spasming every couple of seconds

The inventer ran to his friend and removed the helmet and looked in and discovered pornograhy had been playing nonstop all night

Later in the movie the friend, visibly wasted and in therapy, no longer a brilliant programmer/scientist/inventer ... thanked his inventer friend


That's all I remember and THAT scene has stayed with me all these years ... turning me away from VR ANYthing

The opportunity for abuse is WAYYYY too great and the aftermath could be devastating

Imagine ANY world leader today (already the NORK fatboy is a lunatic) ... donning a helmet and having his mind pumped full of God only knows what

Nope ... IMO ... shut the VR down
