I imagine it would not be a good idea to stream VR games, and probably won't be for a long time.  VR headsets put heavy constraints on engines, essentially giving them an extremely tiny window of opportunity to actually render (something like under 10ms/frame on a game that must stay locked at 90FPS with particular FOV settings, etc...).  That's all fine and manageable, and is necessary to keep the effect going and (more importantly) to keep players from feeling nauseous.

Reducing input lag so that your extremely precise head motions can be reliably sent uncompressed, ordered, and at the same extremely fast rate back and forth to NVidia would be a lot more difficult, though.  Just something to think about: by the time this becomes a reality, we would have had to greatly improve the way data is sent so the average person doesn't puke 3 seconds into streaming to a headset.
oops i was late

this exactly

theres no way we can get response times down to that through servers several hundred miles away without making you feel like your head is rolling off your own shoulders when we can just about make it usable connecting it directly to our computer

I imagine the selection of games is very limited.

They claim it works with every game on every major store front (steam, origin, uplay)

With the right marketing this could be big, but they probably don't understand the importance of what they're doing. If they lowered their price to 10-15 dollars, and gave out a presentation like Steve Jobs did and hyped the possibilities up like Todd Howard did, then yeah, I think people would make posts about this on 9gag, people on 4chan would shitposts about this, and reddit would give out links to VR services.
a cool concept, but unlikely on second thought
This is amazing- not the service, but the concept. VR could become much more mainstream with this, because not everyone wants to pay 7000 sek for an Oculus Rift, but I once saw VR goggles for 300 sek in some random shop magazine. This means that you buy those goggles, buy the service, and then start up some VR wherever you are.

Now I imagine it won't have the turning function occur when you turn your head, but that should easily be made available if unknown companies like those get rich quick because of how many buy VR goggles. All they'd have to do is add some accelerometers to the goggles, and you'd be able to turn around by turning your head.

The second problem would be the low amount of VR services out there that allow turning- but that again would change if we saw the mainstream pick up cheap VR. There already is VR porn, and that alone makes me wanna buy those goggles; add more services and you have me sold.
edit: Putting some accelerometers in the headset probably wouldn't help. Having four, or 8 buttons that make you turn in all directions would probably be the way to go.

where is that quote from

latency is incredibly difficult to handle in VR

the current head-tracking has to use special infrared cameras or lasers, and they absolutely have to be wired to prevent motion sickness, which is another one of the biggest problem VR has - HMDs have to be wired not by choice, if there were any wireless method of sending that data that was just as responsive, they wouldn't be wired

imaging trying to send that data through your internet, and then having that transmit a video feed back to your HMD

it doesnt make VR any more accessible than having an unrealistically low ping on your internet connection

All ya need is a reboot. I really need to clean out my sd card.
I wish. My OPO's battery and charging were pretty shot. Just using it to browse the web drained it very quickly and it charged poorly. I legit got the message "charging rapidly - 37 DAYS remaining until full" once. If I had it plugged in and charging while the phone was on, it would sometimes drain battery faster than it would charge. Sometimes I'd go to bed with it "charging" at 30% and I'd wake up to it having dropped to 10% while plugged into the wall. This was partially my fault for being one of the earliest adopters when it was in its first stages and assuming I could fix most issues by myself, but still. Glad to have a new one after 3 years.
still using my og opo here back when they were still with cm and the invite system, probably a bit later than you though

still as fast as the day i took it outta the box

and still one of the prettiest phone designs ive ever seen imo

waoh. i dont even like verb but that wasn't really bad(compared to a lot of other shit said on here).  This site is dying enough as it is. congrats on alienating one of you're biggest posters.

Verb's been banned for worse and banned for longer from other places. As far as I know he'll show up again.

hes going to come back whether anybody wants him to or not
