Nice trips Satan. Back on point, 2016 is the year that VR will finally come, the 90s were full of optimists and faulty research.

not op but the problem was that in the 90s was that the tech just wasn't there. Consumer 3d cards were just appearing on the market and digital computer screens hadn't replaced composite analog ones yet. Likewise, the Internet was still in it's infancy, throttled by dial-up before cable/FioS came about

I completely agree with you about 2016 though. It's going to be a breakout year for VR, even if it's just for hobbyists and enthusiasts.

I mean it's obvious that the hardware wasn't ready, that's what I meant by optimists. The reasarch that was cunducted in that era was faulty because they expected VR to work on sub 60fps and other nonsense.

2015 will be the year of the VR desktop.

Really love seeing the similarities between this current vr wave, and the one in the 90s.

I guess i'll post some more 90s era stuff in this thread. I'm pretty sure I've seen most of it already though.

>if you look at whats happened in previous technologies where you've got a new product the people who start the product off who are in first generally don't survive the people who survive for example in cars were fords and Chrysler and Mercedes but they weren't the people who started they were the panhards and who has ever heard of the panhards they've disappeared now i'm afraid the same thing could happen to virtuality we have sega we have nintendo we have large american corporations and other Japanese corporations who are putting alot of money into virtual reality the odds on virtualty surviving are not great.

>the sensations while playing are very strange a new kind of out of body experience almost your eyes tell you you're moving but your body doesn't.

Sounds like "simulation sickness". But considering the game in the video had a cockpit view, it probably wan't as bad as some of the other classic vr games.

This playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL97EDA740343B580B has a fairly large collection of classic vr gameplay clips.

I especially like clips that have Jaron Lanier interviews from his vpl days.
