Armchair Creator

Things are normal these days. I was looking through the meta virtual reality shop for apps that might have a similar classy arcade lobby to the Pinball FX VR one. The one thing that is missing from VR is a treadmill that lets the user walk in virtual reality by moving their legs. In virtual reality you can walk but you don't really move your legs and your brain thinks there is something wrong after a while; it starts making you feel sick. 

Virtual reality is a nice way to be lost in your hobbies, you can just sit there in an arm chair and do all the things that make you tick. You can build a train set, draw pictures and even build things. It is even possible to fly in a flight simulator. 

Isn't it wonderful that a person can be fine just by sitting in a comfy armchair and doing their hobby. They sip some coffee, create something beautiful. Wouldn't it be even more nice if they got an income from their hobby.

PlayStation 5

I learned earlier this autumn that Sony was making the PlayStation games console version 5. I saw a picture of what it will look like, it looked a bit like toilet seat to me but it won't be crap. I wouldn't be surprised if it was designed to make the most of virtual reality and 4k graphics. 

I think the biggest problem with virtual reality is people being sick. I have tried out virtual reality head sets myself and I find that is the problem. When you move around without moving your legs, it makes you feel sick, maybe that is why the PlayStation 5 will be shaped like a toilet seat. Space is the other problem, you can make a rectangle in your room for virtual reality but that is not enough to let you explore open worlds. Perhaps a special treadmil should be developed that allows visitors of virtual reality to explore open worlds without actually moving along the floor at all. Well we will see what is in store in the near future.
