VR

“There's going to be another platform after that. And I think that's going to be a virtual reality and augmented reality.”

“It's still early, but VR, AR clearly will be an important computing platform.”

“I think the world where we live in VR is actually a good thing. And I know a lot of people get really scared and nervous about like a future where we all live in like a ready player one or at least like some sort of virtual world like that. I actually think it…”

“I also almost don't see a future where at some point that's where a majority of people spend their lives because we're already pretty close.”

“Instinctively, and from my experience, I don't think that that person is going to come from one of the big AAA studios because they're going to have to be thinking in a different way.”

“Maybe what the materiality of the medium of VR should include the fact that you're wearing a fucking helmet, right? Like, you know, and you're in a room with other people, right? Like maybe that's not like maybe that's not something to write off. Like maybe th…”

“Doesn't mean that VR will not be big someday, but this is, you know, I don't think you can make a high conviction bet on starting a VR company today, at least that the, or at least that the TAM will be huge. It still feels like we're at the Palm Pilot, not the…”

“If you contrast that to virtual reality, everyone talks about it as the next trend. It may be in the future. But today, if you talk to people who have VR headsets they don't use them every hour. They don't use them every day. Most of them don't use them every …”

“For VR, the way that I've been looking at it is it's more potential story. It's, I'm crafting worlds that you, where if, when you go there, the story is something that you can decode.”

“People not just focusing on entertainment and games. I think that a lot of what I've been doing has, I mean, granted, one of the pieces I'm making is entertainment, but thinking about education, thinking about Various other you know, professions that could use…”

“I don't see it being called VR. Like, I just don't see it. I think that it's all gonna go to a different kind of place. I think, yeah, I think it'll be called something else.”

“It doesn't have to be a literal thing. You know, you don't, it doesn't have to be like slapsticky or like, here's, you know, fricking like Jerry Seinfeld telling you a joke. Like it's literally just, like, what is the human condition? Like, what have we create…”

“I also believe that it's not one technology or another technology. I believe it's all kind of going towards something. They're all going to work together.”

“It just feels like that stuff is so important in terms of selling you being in a space. And it's again, people were trying to think of it second. So I want to be part of the, I want to lead help lead the charge and like it's first for me.”

“And so in my mind in VR or any immersive content, if you can get that piece, that truth transmitted to that person, it doesn't matter what kind of experience they have, they walk away with what was most important to you in the first place.”

“Less is more in a VR space. It's like once everything's like kind of acid trippy, like hearing this like Irish American-speaking fabricated lady speaking Vonnegut interpretations to you just doesn't, isn't ideal.”

“A fake trend, or at least a fake trend as of, ah, August, 2018, I would say is VR. I do believe VR will be big someday, but today most people that I know, ah, that own a VR headset use it never or very rarely.”

“I mean, VR plus some kind of, like, chemical combination, I could absolutely see being better than real life. For almost everyone. If not everyone.”

“When people are super passionate about a thing, and there's a lot of attention, and a lot of energy, and then you look, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of there, to me, that's an indication that there's an opportunity. That means that people, people want so…”

“I haven't seen it yet become like a place where there's a lot of established work that you can point to and say, oh yeah, this is clearly just, you know, this is an industry, and this is a place where you can do work and find an audience.”

“It's awesome for games. I love it for games. I love it for other stuff, but for video, it's been sort of a head scratcher.”

“I really do think it's the next technology evolution. So we went from desktop, mobile, and next one in terms of representing information in a very rich way. It's going to be the space of Mixed reality with AR, VR, and beyond.”
