    There are, literally, four us cases for vr

    • playing laser tag with furries in vrchat

    • flight sims

    • vr porn

    • wait i guess there are only three.

      I like modeling and animating in vr. It's janky, but it lets me rapidly crank out drafts, even with very basic skills.

      But yeah, no way I would've ever gotten a headset if I couldn't use it for porn.

        Yes but this means apple just gave 1/3 of their product’s use case the bird. It is objectively 1/3 less useful than a huge quantity of cheaper stuff

        Someone's probably combined all three in VR Chat in one of the "not open to the public" rooms.

      Driving/racing Sims are legitimately extremely fun and immersive in VR. If you have a full setup, they are kinda mindblowing. I used to do some iracing and I had a vr headset hooked up with a basic rig. Formula vee racing... I can't describe it. So much fun

          You can make the story about a bicycle courier who has to deliver critical boot polish supplies before the zwart piet parades starts

      I guess this could be included as part of flight sims but sim (car) racing is another use case for vr

      Theres this app on Oculus/Meta called Bigscreen that lets you watch movies and TV shows for free in a virtual theater, hosted by people streaming them from their computers. I guess it, for the time being, is perfectly legal to do because it's essentially no different from showing a movie at your place.

      A buddy of mine used to do this. He'd host a public room and have polls to let viewers decide what to watch next. He streamed movies from his giant hard drive.

        They're getting there. There's some "Beyond" VR set built by hackers to be the best image possible and it's tiny and barely weighs anything. The tech is improving by leaps and bounds year by year.
