Title: 2016: Virtual Reality
Post by: josephpalazzo on December 30, 2015, 07:01:53 AM
VR is about to become mainstream.

Why dream, when your dreams can virtually be vr.

The only reason anyone really wants VR is to fuck anime characters. Until that becomes possible, it will never be mainstream.

When Occulus Rift was still a thing, one of the first programs made for it was 3d hentai. QED.

I would want it for many things and not one of them is sex. But Hijiri has a point, that would be the most popular one I guess.

As it is stated above walking on the moon is a very good idea.

Also can you image walking around in jungles of Triassic and Jurassic! Just a 100 K years ago? 19th century Europe? 16th century Florence or Viking Age! Ancient China! Ancient Rome!

Certain themes like Middle Earth, Star Wars, ALIEEEEEEEN!

I just came... *lights a cig.

Oh my nonexistent life would move into the virtual world to stay there.

That was not in the affordable price range. The VR coming on in the market will be in the $100 USD, so just about the whole world population will get into VR. Throw away your iphone, ipod, and make way for VR.

Innovators have got the right idea.  People want VR.  Most attempts have been lame so far.  I, for one, am looking forward to real VR with great anticipation.  But mind you I don't want to pay $10,000 and have to provide a battery of computers, connectors, and dongles.  And I don't want to have to fiddle with stuff every 30 minutes because something doesn't work exactly right.  Just give me a hair dryer thing I can stick my head into and experience VR hands free for at least 4 hours of continuous trouble free enjoyment.

So basically the little boy scouts will be jerking off to something that moves and looks semi real versus a two dimensional picture on a screen. That's progress right there.

LOL  For me, the purpose of VR begins and ends with Flight Simulator.  Unfortunately, it seems like it might require the program to be written to accommodate it.  So my anticipation may be irrelevant.  I have in my mind, a VR similar to The Thirteenth Floor; A virtual reality that could be used for sex as well as Flight Simulator.  For now, I'll probably have to content myself with buying airline tickets, and riding in the coach section, while having sex in the restroom with a real girl friend, which is less convenient and still somewhat of a pipe dream.

Yeah that "sex in a restroom" thing in my case would have to involve a wheel chair, so forget it.

Now thinking, flight is a good one.

... ... ... Driving fast cars?

No seriously, the educational capacities of decent VR would be phenomenal.
You could take an actual trip through the human body. 
You could perform surgery as training.
You could learn welding, carpenting, whatever... without risk of harming yourself.
You could learn to drive, learn to fly with helicopters or planes, learn to drive a train.
I could go on.

Naah, everyone here would love to see themes like what I wrote up there. I think it is just too new to think about what to expect.

Exactly what Mr. Obvious said the educational value is priceless and not just education for kids or students. Just building a vritual reality of let's say... somewhere/some-when in Middle Ages or Ancient Egypt, Aztec would help a lot in reconstruting those ages in real historical inquiry. That might sound weird, but it is not trust me. Although we have piles of information and knowledge, we don't a about lot of things. It would help a lot in connecting all those knowledge.

All that knowledge, education, progress...etc and it would be awesome, crazy fun!

E: Yeah definitely the only car I am driving... :ppp

The internet also has a great capacity for learning, but the first online transaction in history was a cannabis sale and the websites with the highest traffic are still the ones with porn. (Even YouTube has camgirls who stop just short of anything that would get them banned.)

The one guarantee with any new technology is that the first question men will ask is, "Can I have sex with it?"

Well, to be honest, I've never done drugs (apart from booze), and I don't care to use it IRL either. However, a VR-cannabis experience is something I would  concider. Interesting point as it might make recreational drugs like pot and booze obsolete. Let's say you could hook up a lifelike-VR of one of the living rooms of your friends and share that VR, rather than actually all going there you could chill in that VR-spot with virtual booze or a virtual joint that gives you the samel experience. But no risk of driving home under influence and no real harm to your body.

If you think cell phones make people less sociable, wait until VR comes along. Societal behavior will become unknown. Those that have VR will become addicted to it and those who do not have it will take over those who do without them even knowing it. Alas, the death of civilization as we know it.

You obviously are not as up to date with porn as you should be.

Search "VR Porn". You will be pleased. It's only a matter of time 'til people make vr hentai, if they haven't already.

Well then!  It sounds like a step in the right direction.

Yep.  VR tourism (both real-world and fictional locations) would be pretty cool, too.

Considering the level of reality in the auto racing games now on the market, a vr version of something like Grand Theft Auto would be mind boggling. I think anything to do with sex at first would be just weird. It would take some getting used to.

doesn't feel like real VR, unless sensations are included  :sad2:
anyone has any idea about something opposite of BCI (brain computer interface). You know where computer can directly put information into your head. like feeling touch or something like that.
