Check out this series if you get the History Channel. It’s very speculative, but there are some real possibilities here with the way tech is going. It’s very “Black Mirror” but gets you thinking.

I spend a lot of free time in VR and some of the cool things are meeting up with friends around the world to shoot some pool, play paintball, watch Netflix or go see Reggie Watts at a virtual comedy theater. One concept in VR is teleporting. In order to get from one place to another in a large world, you point to where you want to go, press a button and your “body” travels to that location. One day after a few hours in VR, I went upstairs to the fridge to grab a beer. I closed the fridge door, pointed my finger at the couch in my living room and pressed a non-existent button. Confused as to why I was’t moving, my wife yells out “Did you just try to teleport you fuckin’ idiot?!!?”

Jesus! That 2x Quadro is a monster! Maybe that will be my next upgrade. But I’ll still stick with the iMac Pro maxed out at $15 Gs when I can afford it. 😉 My whole home environment is in the Apple world so I just like the experience of everything just playing nice with no fiddling. The PC is basically my middle age crisis. I’m not into sports cars, motorcycles or boats so I have to blow money on something!

Haha! No my primary is still an iMac and a Macbook Pro. The PC is my VR/AR rig. You need shit tons of graphics and processing power to get a realistic VR experience. I have my whole basement dedicated to a high end room-scale VR experience. It’s the balls and is more a hobby at this point. I’m trying to stay ahead of the curve in VR, and Augmented Reality design. I’ve tried them all and by far, the Vive experience blows all of them out of the water. Since UX Design is shifting toward voice, wearables, AR and VR, I’m just trying to keep my pay grade high 😉
