Applause!!!
Maybe you just don't understand it
These are generally the same people who complain that a BETA doesn't work 100%
At last, virtual Dad-dancing

Each to their own - some people tend to be more cynical than others as historically, impressive proofs-on-concept haven't always translated into comparable real-world application. This certainly shows great potential though!

Not really better, just completely different.
VR can be more immersive, but AR has more real world applications. VR for games is pretty special.
This was a very cool proof of concept. I have no ability to write any code so I applaud these peeps for what they did. The kids dancing was a nice touch. Only complaint are the pipe wrench wielding guys. Turning 180 as they swing down is a good but that could be fixed. Next, walk like an Egyptian or He-Man, please!
This is after post. From the article:
Even with post, this is still a pretty impressive demo.
VR gives me a headache and makes me dizzy. It is pretty special in that way.
Stuff they’re working on. Have you tried anything with a simulated nose in peripheral vision? - It sounds insane but it helps a lot of people with motion sickness.
I’ve played through all of Alien Isolation in VR comfortably, and a lot of minecraft.. Eye tracking will help too. It’s not ready for everyone yet, but it’s getting there fast.
That was an amazing video when it came out. Very original concept. From the good ol' days when MTV had great music videos...
This is really cool, AR is going to be great! I'm wondering if this is all getting people ready for when the iPhone 8 comes out later this year? developers have already started making apps so maybe those apps will be available and a couple even demoed alongside the iPhone 8 in September.

Not sure where that city or place is but im sure some brothers will teach them to dance soon. You know what i mean? Nice flix anyway. I liked. Sounds like the musik dad listened like 100 years ago lol

Agreed. But, as you alluded to, it's not impressive because of its visuals; it's impressive that we're able to approximate an aesthetic that took several months and many artists to create, using a device that fits in the palm of the hand and renders these effects in real time—essentially taking months of work and compressing it into milliseconds of processing. Then you add the interactivity on top of it…
But, yeah, the final look is somewhat lackluster.
Well said! That's what I was thinking but could not articulate even inside my own head! I do wish I were better with words so my posts could be shorter and to the point.

I've talked about this in other threads so I apologize to anyone who has endured me talking about this before, but real life gives me a headache and makes me dizzy. When summer is over and everyone is back in school I'll be working with my doc to find out if I have a specific condition that may be causing that. In the meantime I get relief for it by going into VR! Headaches and vertigo disappear in VR for me.
It remains to be seen how I do with AR. If Pokémon Go is any indication, not so well. I have to turn off the AR perspective to catch my Pokémon. I get too distracted otherwise.
This is Atopia Chronicles level stuff. It feels like we’re really close to people walking around with “skins” over their worlds.
Shall I say the words again....thinking...yes I will.
Apple is up to something big with this, probably with Apple Maps and includes data from those cars driving around.

The original version from 31 years ago still looks more impressive and realistic without the technology.
The remake is a good idea but the ARKit implementation has the annoyingly jerky floating window at the beginning and unrealistic robotic dancing.

It wasn’t made available for millions before with no need to buy new hardware and good enough to actually be functional.
So yeah others rushed to show a concept, Apple actually made it happen.
Idk I think overlays of a real world are more immersive than a screen strapped to your head lol. Both are interesting but there's nothing special about vr(just a screen with motion sensors)
What game would you recommend for vr that truly showcase how good it is? The ones I have played are all half baked.
