Star Trek Bridge Crew

I don't want to ask what TOS is.

Just assume I know it somehow opposes whatever the other kind of Star Trek is.  I'm a warfare theorist, that works for me.

Close. TOS is the only Star Trek. There is nothing else. Except DS9. And bits of TNG.

I thought TOS  meant "the original series".

If you already have a playstation 4, you can get the VR setup for £350 , I know Star trek was being made for PS4 aswell probably out, but check, The gear isn't as good as oculas but not bad, so if you have PS4 your ok. I have seen an oculas and played VR Regata on steam, it was phenominal you can sail boats and its like real, I got told what VR was and seen it on TV, but you cant be told you have to see it.

New technology.  Give it a couple of years and it'll be cheaper.  I'm not going to buy into the VR however.

Have you bought into regular reality?

Well I reject structuralism, so yes I accept reality.

It is undeniably the future of PC and console gaming and definitely the future of recreation and entertainment. The technology will mature and be refined, but if you're refusing to buy into VR then you should be prepared to give up the hobby. The technology and experience is so revolutionary it is definitely more than a gimmick or passing phase.

My issues with VR are philosophical and not really the point of this thread.  I don't disagree with JH that VR will become more prominent in time.

Ahhhhhhhh....this could be an interesting discussion. I can see philosophical apprehension with the technology, but its no different than anything else. In moderation, I don't see a problem.

Close. It means "the old stuff". Except not "stuff".

I do agree that the concept of VR has huge potential, and not just in gaming, but I wouldn't buy into it just yet - as I don't think that a clunky headset with eye damaging screens is the future - no-one ever indulged in technology that made them look silly - look how 3D cinema has spectacularly failed to catch on.  I understand MS are working on a next generation (no pun intended) VR system that projects externally - now that is VR I would buy into.

Eye damaging? Whatch' you talkin' 'bout Willis?

The "external" projection you are referring to is called "augmented reality". Its totally different.
