VR is here! We are doomed!
If you have ever played Fallout, you will know of what I am talking. A big world where it is just toxic gas everywhere. The world is not what it used to be.
That is my prediction about this VR thing. Virtual Reality will allow us to completely neglect reality. Then the world will begin to fall into the universe that is Fallout. A bit drastic perhaps. But believe me, a lot of people will get really addicted by this VR business. And while the real world is a place of disaster and toxic enviroments we will all sit indoors using a Virtual Reality device to live our lives.
Imagine yourself sitting in your appartment and just enjoying the most beautiful enviroments, being super strong with magical powers and you feel almighty.
You consider the idea of removing the device covering your eyes and go out in the real world for a while to live the normal life.
The first thing that happen is that you realise that you need to empty the trashcan and take out the garbage. Since you have to leave the compartment either way, you might as well pick up some food.
On your way to the supermarket you find yourself bombarded with newspaper headlines about war and misery. The weather is cold and wet. You are cold since you did not wear enough clothes. Then you ask yourself.
Why would I leave the virtual world ever again?!
Is this going to happen in the next year or two? No, not so soon. When the technology is perfected though, the temptation of staying in the Virtual Reality world will be strong. Too strong for some people I'd say.
My buddy Bas is already having mixed feelings towards the news about VR being released. He also sees this future, and how he will struggle to resist using this technology too much.
We will be talking a lot about the subject of these Virtual Reality devices on the podcast. Since there will be a few different ones, we would like to get some good information out there to help you guys decide which one to purchase.
Something I can tell you right now, is that maybe you should wait with buying any computer equipment. Since the entire industry is waiting to see how this VR business will affect the world of gaming, we should wait too.
In order for the companies to be able to sell these new games using the technology of VR, they need to make sure that the gamers can afford the machines for it. Which means, hopefully the prices will drop on the gaming computers in the near future.
And most of all, there will be new hardware released that is built to handle these new VR games.
