I’m also very interested in an invite, this sounds like a very novel concept!

If the headsets are good enough you could actually use them to remove information from your view as you walk instead of adding more to it.

How exactly would they disrupt it?

When I change a CSS property in the Rules tab under the Inspector, and I press ctrl/cmd+z, it doesn't set the property back to what it was before I changed it. And obviously ctrl/cmd+y doesn't go forwards.

It's amazing how such a small change makes it so much more difficult to use the Firefox dev tools compared to Chrome. Sometimes I just want to toggle between CSS values and see what is changing, or undo a few changes I made.

And is that is a bad thing? The work still gets released and can be used by anyone.

As far as I’m aware not since wrath of the litch king expansion.

And what exactly is the alternative option for them there? They can either follow the rules in China or completely lose all of their business. That is on China, not Apple.

Pretty sure he means to wipe out your career within the company.

I'm looking forward to the next generation of VR headsets immensly. A lot of people have been quick to jump on the "VR is already dead" train, but having picked one up during Christmas this year, it's obvious how much potential is there.

There are a few things that need to be accomplished before widespread adoption:

- Removal of wires. It restricts movement too much and removes immersion. The new HTC headset is a step toward this.

- Higher resolution screens. VR AMOLEDs like this are a step in the right direction.

- Prices for GPUs need to go down, and/or a few more years are needed for average computers to be able to render high frame-rates without breaking the bank.

- Headsets need to be lighter and smaller.

- Removal of sensor placement the room. This will be harder to do, but cameras/sensors built on the headsets themselves could potentially accomplish this.

The way I see it, we're in the iPhone 1 stage of VR right now. Imagine the iPhone X version: lighter, smaller, higher resolution, more colors, higher frame-rate, less hassle. These are all inevitabilities, and at that point it will become much easier to adopt the technology. We're also missing a true "killer app" that will get people to purchase a headset JUST for that. I think it will take some sort of truly massive MMO the likes of WoW to accomplish that.

The future is definitely exciting in this field. I hope hardware vendors don't give up and can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is just the beginning though. The iPhone 1. Imagine the iPhone X version of this. It's open source now; it was made by one person. Now imagine it after 10,000 people have worked on that code. This will become so streamlined and efficient you won't be able to tell at all. Some of the good ones are already extremely convincing, you just have to give it appropriate training data, choose a good model to swap with, etc.

Tried it out, app stopped responding within two minutes of use. Had to force quit. I think I'll wait for it to mature a bit before trying again.
