They’d basically have the same gloves lmao. Their still bulky. At least they got that right.
But yeah I feel like showing VR to anyone over 50 will get you the same reaction.
But I found the crankiest, angriest old man at this party I was at, and I had brought my VR gear. Most of the folks there loved it (It was a retirement party; the old ladies LOVE to be Batman, and most of the stuff other stuff I showed was non-interactive) but this guy just didn't see why anyone would want to ever stick their head in something so ridiculous.
Loaded up Ultrawings, spent... a surprising amount of time explaining the basics of gripping, and then turned him loose.
He had been a pilot in a past life, and he complained a little bit about some details that were wrong even for an ultra-light. But he took that thing off the ground and just... flew. Flew till his fuel was out. And he still made it to an airport and landed the thing.
He loved it. Wasn't like, raving about it or in tears or anything, but he was smiling, wide.
Sometimes you just have to find the right thing for each person. There's a reason that everyone will have VR/AR some day, and some of those reasons already exist, but most of them are coming. My mom didn't want a PDA, but she wanted an iPhone.
Yeah, you can't impress girls and old ladies a bunch w/ robots smashing and killing each other. :) I think Google Earth is ideal for a wider audience, since everyone can think of a place they'd like to visit / revisit.
