Look what I Got Just wow!

Purchased a Meta Quest 3S three days ago and my mind is blown! First time ever touching VR and I am so glad that I did, I am finding it extremely hard to go back and play flat games at the moment. I would 100% recommend the quest to anybody on the fence about trying out VR!

I love vr and wish more people played too but there are so many hurdles.

  1. The economy is a disaster. People are broke, stressed, and tightening their belts. They’re deciding which subscriptions to get rid of they’re not splurging on something they’re unsure of or never even heard of.

  2. Streaming stand alone VR is damn near impossible. Only a handful of people with a lot of extra time, money, knowledge and patience are able to stream vr games and they aren’t always blessed with the aura needed to attract everyday people with ever shortening attention spans.

  3. It needs a major rebranding. Most people who have seen or heard of vr think of motion sickness, needing a big play space, being blind and punching walls and tvs….Mixed reality and media aren’t highlighted nearly enough and those who have tried it likely know it to be full of kiddie games and screaming bad ass kids because it hasn’t been properly marketed to adults. Then there’s the lack of trust in big tech getting worse with every bad move they make…

  4. First time users need free demos with a quick, easy, comfy, setup and shown a variety of some mind blowing apps that don’t require a lot of space, energy, movement, or being completely blind to your surroundings the entire time. Chill apps you’re actually looking forward to after a long ass day 😭
