48 percent do not need Android VR glasses
48 percent of readers would not like to see virtual reality glasses from Android. Now that Apple has announced its own VR glasses, the discussion has flared up: do we also need an Android variant? Apparently that is disappointing, although there are also people who would like to watch movies and series on Android VR glasses.
Android VR Glasses
8 percent think it could be interesting for business applications, while 16 percent would see it as a fun device for gaming. Finally, 5 percent opt for ‘different’, for example Katty, who has a visual challenge and can benefit greatly from such a device: “I would especially like to use such glasses to be able to take hands-free photos to, for example, use smart devices. camera from crowdsource to help train or use lookout from Google. Now I find it complicated to properly aim a camera with that smartphone. And if those glasses would have speakers with bone conduction, then I can activate google maps and get instructions on how to walk (it would be nicer if that pedestrian mode for the blind also came to Europe) and if I get lost, the camera would can then possibly help to visually tell maps where I am and put me back on track.”
There are more people who could use some visual support and wonder whether that is going well with their glasses, such as Cyclon: “I mainly wonder whether I can do something with my multifocal glasses. Or just for someone with only farsightedness or nearsightedness.” GM-Firebird has another reason to like such VR glasses: “I always wanted to screw my TV flat to the ceiling in my bedroom, but that was not possible because of a ceiling fan. This is ideal, of course, for watching TV. watch and stream movies and series.”
‘No chance of success’
Probably the enthusiasm about Android VR glasses also depends very much on the price. Apple’s VR glasses cost as much as a nice used car: if VR glasses cost that much, they probably won’t be in great demand among the general public. Certainly not if it is not entirely clear what it really is a great solution for.
Anyway, at the same time it reminds us of the videos from the 90s where people on the street said: “A mobile phone? Well no, am I gone? If I want to call, I just do it at home with my home phone.” We don’t think there are people from those movies who didn’t buy a cell phone. Would the same apply to VR? In any case, the community seems to have little need for it. Pintoil, for example, is very assertive. pintoil: “VR glasses have no chance of success! They are cumbersome products that you have to set up and are quite limited in application. Those glasses have all been in development for more than 50 years now… and have all failed!”
What isn’t 50 years in development, that’s our AW Poll, it will just come back next week. Thanks for participating and see you then!
