> I want whatever I'm playing to FILL the viewing area. There's literally a preset for "front row in a theater" when playing media.
Literally? As opposed to what?

Absolutely. Been travelling with a SD and Xreal Airs for the past 2 years. Fantastic for gaming and video consumption.
Does the device ignore head tilt, keeping the screen in-place as your head moves?
weird to film someone doing their job just to prove you could ask for tea without taking off your big vr headset. hope they asked for permission to post this.

You can do the same thing with any screen by holding it the appropriate distance. Keep in mind that all that unwatchable area is pixels that aren't being used to improve the movie image.
> You can do the same thing with any screen by holding it the appropriate distance. Exactly! Commented earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41862459 > Keep in mind that all that unwatchable area is pixels that aren't being used to improve the movie image. Or maybe it's like the Philips Ambilight+Hue, that people swear adds immersion by letting content color the environment around it.
Ironically by adding a gue to a nomral screen, you're effectively 'adding' pixels to the display... unlike the pro which wastes pixels on the 'hue' because many of them are not in the ideal viewing angle.
> A big bonus for watching movies in VR on a plane is the fact that you don’t need to conscious about movies that contain graphic scenes. You don’t need to turn down the brightness and rotate the screen away from children! Ah!

I think that will fade. I don't know if you remember how mocked the airpods were when they first came out ("They look like q-tips"). All it'll take is a few celebrities spotted using one and they'll turn cool in no time.

I have a little unproven hypothesis that fits that last statement, that it would be absurd for a company like Apple to bring people together in the real world. My hypothesis is that these companies want to make money by "taking" your senses. They want your attention to be with them at all times, by being in your ear so you'll hear them, by being on your wrist so you'll feel them, by being on your eyes so you'll see t…
This is such a strange take to me. A phone is fundamentally a communications device. I use mine to catch rides, figure out where I'm going, call and text my loved ones, all of these things connect me to other people. I listen through headphones to music, and to talk to people, neither of these are isolating experiences. AirPods even have a mode which specifically turns off audio when someone is speaking to you, I lik…
Taking what I said about a commercially sensical strategy about selling a - what was the word I did use? Proxy - through which you can experience the world, and then spinning some paranoid yarn about not experiencing the world at all... Now that is kind of strange.
