The Computer Audiophile Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi Guys - I recently received a VR box from Knox Labs (V2). I immediately said to myself, this is the future of immersive audio and high end playback with video. However, after the initial cool factor wore off, I'm not so sure. VR is an experience unlike anything else, but I don't know if I want it involved with my audio. I'm just not sure. I can visualize watching a concert in VR with the audio coming from my main system, but it's a bit weird. Who else has tried VR and/or thought about it in the context of high end audio?

徐中銳 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hmm, let's first consider this : [video=youtube;X_aU-P022g0] Virtual reality video gaming has been a dream of the industry for decades. And, after several false starts such as Nintendo's Virtual Boy and the SEGA VR, in 2016 it's finally happening, and in a big way. Companies like Facebook and Sony are now fully invested in the potential of virtual reality, and they're making big promises. According to the makers of the biggest consumer VR devices, these headsets will offer a new users a new type of escape, connect us to each other in novel ways, and revolutionize video games. But now that the dream of consumer-grade VR is a reality, game makers are finding that reality is complicated. With this acceleration into a new world of interactive entertainment comes risks: Just what is virtual reality going to do to its players? How will our bodies respond to these deeply immersive experiences? In our new film, "Stepping into the Screen: The Boundaries of the VR Frontier," we put aside the promises and look at the reality. We speak to developers and medical professionals about the incredible strengths and emerging challenges of VR. We explore VR's therapeutic potential, and lay out the medical risks that game designers must take into account when building these breathtaking virtual worlds. The future is uncertain for VR: Will it just be another fad, like the light guns and balance boards of the past? Or will developers learn to adapt to the new limits of this new technology, and truly revolutionize gaming forever?

davide256 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think VR could be cool for training how to play drums but in general I'd rather close my eyes when doing serious listening Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment

By trying VR do you mean ingesting certain substances and listening to DSOTM? Yes!!! Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment

I have a HTC Vive for gaming that is so cool. I don't think it'd work for me, a concert in VR with music. The content might be visually overwhelming of the music?? VR is so young though, I wouldn't be at all surprised if something down the lane might be offered to audio and HT enthusiasts.
