I know a startup tried to do phone reflection in VR, that is, to mirror a phone’s display into a render layer, and try to use the phone’s touchscreen as an input for that ‘display’.

they went out of business. I wonder if they ever got their patents figured out. seemed like promising tech.

The convenience is harder. I don’t think there’s a solution to that, at least not in the near future.

lighter headsets that work well in MR, so you don’t need to take it off to reply to a msg or find your login. you’d leave it on in mixed/augmented reality mode, then swap it back to VR to play your game.

Slowly, we’re moving towards that. I’ll be very interested to see what comes after the quest 3s / index etc.

Valve isn’t done in VR. it doesn’t feel the need to put out a headset every year.

Same with the Vive. It wasn’t the end. Index isn’t the end. When they find something they can innovate they will.

this would be a great trivia question
