I ask every kid that comes over to baby sit for me the same thing: 1. What do kinda think of VR and do you want to try this headset? 2. What do kids think of cryptocurrencies and NFTs?
I don’t have a lot of data points, but VR excites kids, they know what NFTs are, and they are ambivalent about cryptocurrency.
I really enjoyed Pavlov VR. A Vr shooter sort of like counterstrike combined with Garry’s mod. But I was not able to be even semi competitive with how blurry the screen is and how jittery the hand tracking is.
I could shell out thousands for the valve index if it’s even in stock, but I’m just waiting for someone to release something that doesn’t have a bunch of cables, lighthouses, etc. and doesn’t come with Facebook lockin
The cables are really the killer for me. I can deal with the lighthouses, but my PC is in my office and the nearest space large enough to play in is ~30 ft away. I don't really want to have a whole bundle of cables just running through the hallway, or dealing with coiling 30 ft of cable every time I want to play.
It'll get there eventually, I think.
The kids of today were implicitly groomed for virtual reality by way of 1.5+ years of Zoom-based educations, where they were already communicating as talking torsos displayed on a screen.
This is the same generation who is also being subconsciously prepared for greater state-sanctioned surveillance by way of their parents affixing AirTags to themselves and their belongings.
It’s not about what you catch in the wash…but what you catch in the rinse.
