I get similar vibes to demoing VR the first time. My first thought was, "My tech-illiterate dad would have his mind _blown_ by this."

Unfortunately, even an already-set-up VR experience was too strange/unnatural for him so he never got to experience it. However, this looks easy/natural to use and set up and feels like it'd have a similar mind-blowing effect for many of the older generations, which I think is a good indicator of being revolutionary tech (assuming it can be made available/cheap enough for most people to try it out).




I got my Dad to play SUPERHOT VR for a bit, he liked it, but I suspect the "Shoot yourself in the head to start the demo" bit was possibly a bit on the nose considering he spent quite a few years manning suicide helplines.


The "wow it's really 3D" effect without glasses is what people experience everytime I've shown Looking Glass to someone, glad to see devices with higher resolution are coming and more people in the market, end users will benefit from more concurrence to drive the quality up.
