VR News: Sep 12 - Impossible to Predict VR Future? - VR Crowds - New JauntVR CEO & More!
Cheers Guys!
Preamble starts with description of link I lost dealing with counter points to the doom and gloom vr prediction articles lately.
Next is clarification on my PS4 Pro "Woefully Underpowered" comments...
After this I talk about how an article states that its impossible to predict the future of VR and that the Palm Pilot is proof of that.
Next is, an article dealing with simulating crowds of virtual humans in immersive environments like VR.
Lastly we report on the new CEO of JauntVR the 360 Tech company, A haptic feedback skinsuit made by London art school grads and the Portal Co-Creator who is planning a 72 hour straight VR Marathon session to break 48 hour current record.
