Not really a lie… a promise that could not be fulfilled… The nausea thing is a big issue…

Not terribly surprising VR isn’t paying off as the hype was built on a lie (sort of).

Back when Occulus pre-Facebook buy out had their demo running on Doom the classic first person shooter, everyone read that as FPS games will be playable in VR and as all the biggest games are FPS this will be huge!

Only it wasn’t, the Doom demo was very carefully crafted as it turned out you can’t play FPS games in VR without getting sick after 10 minutes.

Of course this information was hand waved away by VR supporters and the press, it will all be sorted out by the time it comes to market only they couldn’t fix it, even Sony’s best efforts in FPS VR requires huge training to avoid being sick.

So only certain types of games actually work in VR and not the most popular kind, that should have been the major warning sign.

Hi Richard,

Sure. We are only doing private meetings at CES so lets pick a slot and we’d be happy to meetup.

All the best,
Sumanta

Hi Richard, you should come and take a look at how WaveOptics is unlocking the full potential of AR with our waveguide display tech. We’ve stayed focussed on performance, wearability and scalability for over 6 years now and its paying off.

Cheers,
Sumanta
