Oculus Rift Will Support Macs 'when Apple Makes A Good Computer' by zzzzy: 6:16pm On Mar 04, 2016 |
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey has poured water on the idea of his Rift virtual reality headset supporting the Mac by saying that Apple doesn't make any computers powerful enough to run it. Culled from http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/4/11159700/oculus-rift-mac-support-apple What do you think about this, it seems funny to me. |

Actually it is not funny. U know apple very well, they won't venture into vr unless they are certain there's a huge market for it. As it is right now vr is nice but how Many people do u think are willing to wear that thing apart from the geeks? I bought the Google cardboard and then Samsung gear vr, for the first week I couldn't do without them, but after about a week my gear vr is where I kept it collecting dust, I've not used it for about 2 months now. Trust me Apple will do the needful when vr becomes the real thing and not just the geeky thing. Just like they came late to the smartwatch market they will eventually come to the vr market but only when they are certain of huge success. Just look at the pictures below, how many people do u think WILL actually wear this?

greenhulk: Are those meant to be keypads or something!? |

badonkadonk: LOL, now u know why apple will not venture into vr just yet. Actually that's what u wear in ur face to put u into a virtual reality world. The head gear controls ur head tracking, u move ur head in the direction the game wants u.And those things on the hand are motion sensors like controllers, u move ur hands to interact with the games u are playing. Trust me if u ever see anyone using a vr u will think he is a mad man. |

greenhulk:and when they start making it they will lie to their zombie customers that they invented it And as per the apple watch; it's the saddest attempt at a smart watch. To be very honest, it's one of the worst smart watches in the market |

greenhulk:but the problem is that the most powerful mac GPU isn't powerful enough for the oculus Rift. So geeks using a mac wouldn't be able to use it. |
