They want to put out as much as they can while they're in the spotlight. They'll probably, even if subtly, acknowledge how they take care of their users' privacy during their reveal.
This sounds very fair, in general user should always be asked whether he wants his personal data to be shared with other third parties.
We'll still get a blowout of coverage for Oculus Rift when it launches. They'll probably give review units to the biggest sites and ignore the smaller ones that don't have much of a following anyways, thus they couldn't contribute to the blowout so much.
Either their production lacking or the demand is really that high, which would be great for the future of VR.
This must have been a huge scare in the torrenting community.
Never heard of them to be honest. Now, closing down of Megaupload was tragic.
They're not wrong to think that, a lot of will happen in the next 50 years and we're already seeing the start of more serious automation.
Ridiculous, disabling encryption is like asking for more cyber-crimes. They can't be that thick.
Not to mention they could simply buy a smartphone from a neighbouring state.
I don't know why anyone interested in Galaxy S7/Edge wouldn't already have pre-ordered it, extra $100 of value on VR is not shabby at all.
While "Text less, see more" might be their motto, it looks like they wouldn't mind getting heaps of personal data.
Neat commercial for Samsung, maybe a bit too 'in your face'. They could have gone with a bit subtler approach in product placement.
It's great that Raspberry Pi is making engineering of all sorts more accessible.
That's a lot of space, but should it be a surprise with the ammount of traffic they get?
I could see it too, but what VR is lacking is stimulation of other senses other than sight and hearing. Could true immersion work without them? Probably for the most desperate ones.
I think this is a case of too little, too late, but maybe they could pull through.
It looks just so unappealing to me and it's not even that visible on the main site.
Lack of popular streamers (due to low popularity of the YG) doesn't help either.
A group call with 200 friends? That must be unimaginable chaos, even if you manage to make it happen.
I can see it having some use in business calls, but 200 people is still too much.
Investing into VR might not be such a bad idea, but the real question is can Virtuix survive in the clash between Oculus, Google, HTC, Samsung,... Their brand is not that strong.
Earning achievements? Could be interesting.
Honestly, I expected them to have built-in Facebook features considering the fact Facebook aquired them back in March 2014.
Facebook is smartly expanding their portfolio with solutions that help their base. Unlike Microsoft in the past who made lots of questionable purchases.
VR Era is just around the corner (heck, Oculus Rift is launching by the end of March), but I doubt we'll see something like Bruce Willis's Surrogates any time soon.
Good luck with that, because at this state is quite inaccurate, even if using it for translation of some major languages (like from English to German and vice-versa).
