Samsung GEAR VR.
 
Once this tech is better developed (and I don't see it being far into the future)... can you imagine the VR paired with gloves and pedals. It already pairs with a mobile device so the tech is there to make gloves too. I do not see why you couldn't control a VST drumkit using the gloves and a couple of pedals. Think of what the Wii could do years ago. Step inside a virtual studio and control a VST mixing board or.. heck, I'm thinking that this tech will only be limited by imagination. I hope Cakewalk and others see the potential. I could be wrong but I think that if this is developed, it could be a real game changer. Still no virtual talent but wow... the possibilities.
 
I bet I could even find Bubba with these!

I'll need one of those just to control one of those.
 
IOW infinite loop.

BTW, this seems right up McQ's alley. I know he's all about the high-tech.
 

I would have thought that the obvious thing to do there was to rig it up to another screen so that we could see what he was seeing. Pretty pointless demo as it stands.
 
If it works though, you just know that a certain branch of the entertainment industry is gonna be all over it. ;)

I'm just trying to suss how I can get a shameless plug in this fred.
 
 
 
Uhhhhhh I got nothin'.

Can we predict when this technology will become Obsolete?

Well, there is one big drawback to that... someone could walk in on someone and the "user" might not know it until they get a tap on the shoulder or a whack with a frying pan, or worse. Then there will be the "busted" videos.
None of that for me, thank you. I have enough problems. I'd like to play a VST drum kit with it though.

It would be like Larry David's dad in the old folks' home :)

Seems to be some sort of occulus rift competitor.
 

.....but, where do the vacuum tubes go?

Just wait until the porn industry gets into this technology...
