    I had a go on a VR helmet and thought it was kind of fun, but at the moment the options seem to be an affordable one that’s infested with Facebook nonsense, or the Valve/Apple ones which are presumably less intrusive but cost a fortune. So I’m fine to just do without until someone figures out how to do it in a cheap, open-source kind of way, like the raspberry pi of VR helmets.

    That might not even be possible, but in that case I’m also fine to just do without TBH.

        Hmm, I have a soldering iron and a 3D printer. You might be right. Thanks for the link!

      I need the tech to get way further before I seriously consider it. Give me proper AR in glasses that aren’t significantly larger than the ones on my face right now and I’ll be listening intently.

      On the VR front I still also haven’t found productive uses, I just don’t need it for work and while I did think some of the games were fun not enough to justify getting one when I can already game on Xbox or PC…
