    Do you think it’s more interesting to play or to create? Meaning, do you believe people will play these games as much as they play Minecraft, or will they use this app to make game…

    They’re both nearly identical in the ways that matter except for their outward appearance and minor things like audio, accessory ports, and the Vive’s camera. They both have the ex…

    Unfortunately, Facebook heavily subsidizes the cost of the Quest 2, while Index and Reverb G2 have to be sold at a profit. Facebook is also deep in bed with Qualcomm making Quest 2…

    It’s 100 year old technology called a lenticular film that’s bonded to a high resolution display. Making a lenticular film that small is tough but not rocket science. The software …

    It is, but for those who weren’t accepted there is a small “Shakas Network” of about 7,000 people. Of those, there are 300 active on Oahu and ~40 that I mentioned who actually like…

    Are you part of the Shakas Network? Is anyone attending the XR Meetup Saturday? There’s a lot of us, good gender ratio, mix of startups and FAANG. It’s been great. Been here for tw…

    There's a good one coming out soon, the Cinera Edge Elite.

    There are many great SteamVR games that support mouse and keyboard or an XBOX controller. Trover Saves the Universe is one of them. I don't think the lack of controller tracking is…

    Godot and Unity have support for specific VR API's. This headset is designed for SteamVR. You can build for this headset by targeting SteamVR in Godot and Unity, but you'd have to …

    3D doesn't really work that way. If you want a volumetric display, maybe it will work, but the display itself will need to be the same size as the total volume of depth you want to…

    No actually. The Nintendo 3DS uses parallax barrier technology, which is significantly newer technology than 100+ year old lenticular tech which powers Looking Glass and most 3D de…

    > Since it's probably the same underlying parallax tech powering both, I'd guess the reasonings are the same. It's not. Looking Glass is an advanced version of lenticular optics, w…
