Zuckerberg seemed to say something that showed he got this aspect. Its been a while since I used the Oculus Rift, so to ease myself back into things, I decided to check out the updated Tuscany demo. In fact the whole world will have to be re-photographed or re-video'd. I think because it's going to be much more than VR, in fact, because it represents an entirely new form of photographic, cinematic display. I don't know about the Facebook curse you speak of, but I think your imagination is alive and well as to the future of VR. Thing is, Facebook association has destroyed all interest I had in it and destroyed its chance to become a viable form of user interaction. Imagine playing a physics-based game set in space and being horrified when your singleship runs out of propellant while still off course. Imagine planning an addition for your house (heck, building a city) and being able to WALK THROUGH IT. Thankfully I did and I must admit I was very impressed by the level of immersion in the official Tuscany scene and some of the other 3rd party demos. The Oculus is, in my view, probably the best implementation of the technology to date, and its developmental use showed great promise in all types of games and simulation software. This version of the Tuscany demo is intended to run at 60FPS on each phone. No one wants to be associated with Facebook. More than half of the teams developing games both for and with compatibility for Oculus pulled all support after the buyout.
