@AntonHand On the bright side, looks like those using random google cardboard mods + razer hydras are mostly gone.

Also: anyone saying they can predict the price is just finger-in-the-air guessing, because no one has any idea if it will include in the pricing 2 substantial costs:
-Channel margin for if they sell through 3rd parties, or direct to customers only
-Amortisation of one-off engineering costs, e.g. custom silicon, internal & external development costs

How do you estimate a price without even analysing any of the components…

Although Valve hasn't announced the Steam Frame's price, we have our best educated guess as to how much the upcoming VR headset will cost. bit.ly/3Kerfae

My take on AirDrop on Android:
One thing to note is there have been community efforts to reverse engineer the AirDrop protocol.
It's also different from Beeper if Apple were to try and block it, AirDrop is client side and likely needs an OS update to change its behaviour, so they could only break it on phones that still get updates.

Having movement on a screen in a limited part of your FOV where your brain is able to ground itself visually is very different than having your full FOV covered. It's why some locomotion systems shrink your FOV and put a stationary grid around you to try accommodate for motion sickness.
We work on a lot of LBE, where theres a high proportion of people who are new to VR. The sensitivity to motion sickness here, even in environments that are built to not be nausous, is the complete opposite to the crowds you find in VR Chat.
Sure, some people will be able to brave through it because they like the experience, but it's still a tremendous friction point most newcomers aren't willing to face.

this motion sickness myth keeps flying around
you want another confirmation bias?
CoD. the whole FPS genre: players grew used to it since early age, but many noobs still complain about nausea - I did in the 90s
nobody brings it up as it's now a big industry. but VR is tiny

@Hero_Kvatch a lot of comments disagreeing with him about "most people get sick in VR", by saying how they see people flying around in VRC - literally confirmation bias. I do agree with him that most people get sick in VR that isn't designed to not be nauseating.
