      You know, I actually kind of like VR. What’s your main criticism of the concept itself?

          Yeah, that’s fair. Most of the VR stuff out there has a pretty walled-garden feel.

          If I could pick your brain a bit, what are the big computational bottlenecks these days?

              Yeah, that’s pretty typical for a lot of computing these days. People are talking about exotic things like in-memory processing as a way forward because of that.

              Is that the whole thing, or is there something more specific to VR? You can make a smartphone no problem, but portable goggles end up with an ungodly short battery life.

          There was the Virtual Boy and some other things before 2001 (21st century) rolled around. The tech wasn’t good/miniaturized enough back then
