Quoted from Davidus56:CrazyLevy, you didn't pay attention to my post. VR is impressive today, but has some limitations. In 5 years it will be mind blowing. I own 46 pins in my collection. I have played video pinball and I agree, it doesn't come close to real pins. But the VR I tried last night was incredible. You are standing at what your mind perceives as a real pinball machine. Once the table play and screen resolution improve, it will supercede the physical table. What can be done with video software will greatly surpass what can be done with a mechanical pin.
I suppose if you were alive at the turn of the 20th century (maybe u were), you would have been lambasting cars, saying they will never replace horses. Btw genius, the Atari is not the same as VR. Totally different. At least have some understanding of the differences before you spout out.
Car simulators are already further along than pinball and have been for years. No one is ditching their race cars / collector cars for a vr setup. Some race teams use them for practice, but still practice in the real car. The same can be said of flight simulators.
The only people who buy into VR are the ones who cannot afford the real thing, period. It doesn't matter what vr is trying to replicate. You buy it because you don't have the space or don't have the funds. It is not a replacement.
Quoted from Mbecker:I don't know that anyone has even tried the vr experience of pinball the op is talking about -- what's with all the pitchforks? Try it before you disagree, see how it feels. I have not but am intrigued. Without any comparison though offhand it sounds like something cool to have either in companion to real machines (like I virtual cab) or for people with no room for pinball -- in fact I see it getting more people into pinball if they have a headset and get into it. I'd def like to try it out -- just the sample things on the oculus at the store were pretty cool even if you look like a complete idiot wearing the googles haha
Because the OP is most likely trolling. Go onto any forum dedicated to a hobby and claim something new is going to kill it and you will get this response.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I interpreted Elon Musk's point this way:
Less than 100 years ago (during the 1920s) is when we first started really powering homes with electricity. We've also only had the internet since the late 80's/early 90's.
Think of the level of tech advancement humans have achieved in just the past 100 years, which is nothing but a razor thin slice on the timeline of our species. Even if the rate of innovation remained level for the next 100 years, the technology we will have at that point is stuff that we can't even comprehend right now.
His example was specific around the rate at which gaming technology has increased, theorizing that in another 20 years, it will be indistinguishable from what we call real life today. That prompts his question, has our species already gotten there and we are the ones in the simulation?
Darpanet has been around. Just because it was named the internet in the 90's doesn't change the fact that it existed. Heck, in france you could pay for it commercially in the early 80's.
