> If you haven't tried it, you just don't know what you're talking about. You have nothing in your life from which to draw a conclusion.

I wonder why people are circlejerking so hard about "You have to try it to understand it". After watching Carmack show his doom port on his prototype back then told me exactly what to expect. Sure, I didn't know what it would "feel" like, but I knew to expect immersion and when I bought a DK2, I got nothing unexpected. Well, the shitty linux support after they were bought for 2 billion dollars was unexpected, but the technology? No.

> VR is going to fulfill the promise of teleconferencing. If VR was a "flop" in the 90s, then teleconferencing definitely was, too. Talking to people face-to-face in VR is night-and-day better than using Skype or FaceTime. There is barely any comparison to be made. You forget you're using technology when having a f2f with a person in VR. And this isn't a prediction. This is available today.

But isn't "social" VR more of a charade when it is restricted to proprietary platforms and operating systems? Wake me up, when everyone can be connected by it.
