98 year old lady can pass for 70 easy!
I'm 63 and facing the reality of getting older every day in leaps and bounds that not only affects my physical health but also my mental health as well. I was wondering, if anyone can answer this - is there on the market the combination of both a VR headset and an audible story that runs at the same time matching the headset allowing seniors to hear and see stories, to be there, to hear the sounds as well as the commentary.... is there such a thing? (I am a newbie when it comes to VR)
A vr headset can do more than one thing, you can do a lot of things on it, watch a movie, play games, browse the Web basically anything you like.
@@auxy6858 thanks :)
@@laragon4175 A VR headset can most definitely be matched with headphone audio. You can watch many immersive documentary films (my favorite). You could also consult a salesperson if you still have any doubts. Good luck!
Trust me , you’ll love it , you can literally be any avatar and live a wonderful life inside that thing
Thanks, it sounds incredible - there should be a stong market for the elderly who are housebound, I would think this would change their lives. @@Robert-sm3vq
Do you get motion sickness using it?
Well their using cheaper phone vr where you can watch 360 videos and that’s it. You can’t move using phone vr so if your sitting down you won’t get motion sick. Real vr is 6dof (six degrees of freedom) so you can move your body and the video game will move your virtual body aswell for immersion. 6of vr can make people motion sick at first but if you play enough you can grow some “vr legs” and not get sick from playing. There are also settings in some video games that can help with that by offering teleporting instead of moving and other stuff. But some people no matter how hard they try still get motion sick. Try asking a young person who knows some tech if you can if your interested in or do some research online. It’s quite a amazing community.
Some people can, usually if they have experience motion sickness before. So it depends on the individual tendency. But even if you are someone who has motion sickness it can often be managed well by figuring out what environments will make your brain less triggered to motion sickness
yeah . i have one and get motion sickness but if you watch moving scene , but fixed scene nothing happen and wonderful, so try to watch fixed scene
How much for this system we are looking into this business?
i ahve oculus quest 2 around 400$ , i am working on VR App which you can walk inside the scene not just watch ...
