[Timeline] The Last 15 years of VR

Hey friends, I'm the co-founder of Road to VR where we've been covering the VR industry now since 2011. We recently published this timeline that I think many of you that have been on this journey for a long time will find interesting.

Two things I'd love to hear about:

1. What year did you get your first headset and which one?
2. Do you feel like progress in VR overall has been faster or slower than you expected over the last 15 years?

I mean like take the motherboard + battery of a Quest, it's cooling and cameras then fit them inside the shell then adapt the screens + IPD to the system ? I would really do it myself with a broken CV1 but i don't have the ressources to do it.

Edit 1 : Some people recommends me to buy a Quest 1 but the project would be more for fun than actual playing. Also what's the point of downvoting me for something random ?

Hey!

I'm working with the Readality team this semester as a marketing student to share what they've been building.

Readality brings digital comics and manga into VR, letting you physically hold 3D books, flip pages naturally by hand or controller, read in any position wherever you'd like, and even read together with friends.

Try it out for free now by downloading the Alpha:

Thats the app every single time i open it. Restarting, force closing, deleting and reinstalling, i set the oculus runtime to manual in my pc services and still nothing. Im not sure what to do anymore. Any help is appreciated

Hey, I’m one of the developers behind NEX, a video player for Quest. We’ve added Instant 3D to the built-in browser, so you can open a supported site and turn on 3D with a click. It runs directly on your Quest, with no PC or conversion beforehand.

Converting a movie can take hours, and I get why people don’t want to wait that long. That’s why I’m excited about real-time 3D. We’ve also improved Instant 3D performance since the earlier version, so if you tried it before and had frame drops, hopefully this update feels better.

I’ve been testing it mostly with music videos from a few singers I like, and I’ve been enjoying how they look. Some shots work better than others, so I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it's good to me enough as it's real-time 3D.

I’ve mostly been watching in the lake environment, where the screen’s light reflects on the water. You can use the browser in the other NEX environments too, and customize the playback controls to keep your usual settings handy.

As for which sites work: Netflix still doesn’t because of DRM. YouTube and most sites work, but compatibility varies.

Click here to try NEX for free. All features and environments are available with a daily playback limit, so you can check your usual sites before deciding whether to buy the whole version.

Hope you enjoy the update. If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it.
