I’m stoked for VR to gain more adoption so I can hang with my friends who live across the country.
That’s the killer app for me - a platform that all my friends use so we can have spontaneous casual hang outs!

Then to solve adoption, let's make it a website so people can visit it without installing anything!
And maybe if it could be spearheaded by a large company like Google, that'd be even better!
Personally I'd love a service where I could drop in and out of one of these "Google Hangouts" throughout the day, maybe even made accessible by removing the complexity of VR, seeing my friends' cameras would be good enough for me :)
I know it’s bad form to reply to snark with snark but I can’t help myself. If there was no market for this in the age of video chat - why do people still fly anywhere? Why am I excited when my friends come to town?
There needs to be a reason to hang out. Maybe I’m playing a game or watching sports front row or working on my golf swing in VR, then I see a friend come online and voila we link up!
