VR and OTT
When I think OTT I think NEtflix and when I think Netflix it is kind of hard to wrap my head around what they could offer in the VR realm. On the other hand, I am starting to come around on VR. I really felt like it was going to be another 3D TV, but unlike 3D TV it only seems to be growing in popularity and that is with little to no advertising promoting it.
I don't watch a lot of TV, but I have seen one PSVR commercial and one demo in a target.  Adi

Re: VR and OTT
@afwriter - I still feel the use of VR for more traditional TV services is still unlcear. I think there are still concerns about headsets and bandwidth/visual quality. But there's probably potential in industry, for productive video. Thats seems to be a more clearly defined opportunity. I do think VR will take off in the consumer world, but I think that's a riskier bet.

@af I'm no fan of VR these days. I'm waiting to see what comes of the technology. The current predictions are really interesting, but I have yet to see a compelling use case for myself...

Same here. I'm not sure what the early adopters of VR are doing. I think I'll wait to see what Magic Leap will unveil before I get too excited. Mixed reality sounds a bit more interesting....  DHagar

@mhhf1ve - I am with you on the true value. It is a great novelty, but not sure what the real contribution is to real life?

Well, one could argue that Facebook doesn't really have a "real contribution to real life" either... and Facebook owns Oculus... but if any company is going to figure out a way to profit from this pointlessness... DHagar

Re: VR and OTT
@mhhf1ve - well there goes my argument - thanks for pointing that out. You are right. But I believe the value Facebook will derive will have to do with the social media network ultimately - more than the pure value of the VR itself. It will be intersting to see what other companies do, or don't do, with VR.

Well.. Palm Pilots and PDAs and computers and tablet computers were also all novelty gadgets at some point, too. I assume VR will find a use case that kids who aren't born yet will find indispensible. Hopefully, it won't be a virtual world that they'll all live in like the Matrix.... Michelle

VR and AR is part of the broader transformation we're witness to. We still have ways to go though--the experiment, for instance, by the New York Times to figure out V/R with its' V/R App which I tested last year is an interesting experiment that is yet to bear fruit long-term.

As I saw this thought (which may be a duplicate) one area I wanted to throw out for all is on the issue of Net Neutrality--which will come to play a pivotal role in the leading players--it will help drive many of the on-going challenges before us especially as the Chair of the FCC in the United States is resigning which will give the new President a chance to recast the FCC and to in turn undermine the very nature of Net Neutrality itself.

That sounds like a hard problem! But maybe machine learning algorithms can reduce wait times and get customer service reps to come up with solutions faster? Actually, I think AI might be better suited for "self serve" customer service. Basically, more interactive FAQs and ways to help customers help themselves... mpouraryan

Automation is definitely a trend... and it's aiming to start another industrial revolution. It may be a rough start, though, at first. When steam engines replaced all the horses and other labor animals, people didn't really seem to care that much about the well being of the animals, but now that *people* are being replaced by software... are we going to do anything about all the career re-training?
Sure, there are optimists who believe that AI automation is going to open up the economy for more leisure and better lifestyles.. but the path to Utopia from where we are now doesn't look obvious. mpouraryan

Netflix has been a leader in OTT video, and considering the challenges it faces with just 4K video and HD/SD video (net neutrality issues and the like), it seems like it would be a real stretch for it to venture into OTT VR content with even more stringent traffic requirements for customer satisfaction. Netflix deals with quite a bit of customer experience complaints already, so I can't imagine it wants to try to step into a whole new realm (without a path to profitability).

Re: VR and OTT
The challenge is to make sure @bayte there is a sense of reasonableness to it. But, in the end, it is rather subjective. I can't help but wonder how much more rapid can it get as you for instance noted in your brief retrospective for us on Nintendo.
Interesting times...no doubt..... batye

@batye: No need to be speechless and hopeless--one has to be able to learn and adapt--that's at the heart of positive transformation--an implicit message of what we're trying to do here with our on-going deliberations.

Re: VR and OTT
@dcawrey - I don't know. I can see a few people spending absurd amounts of time in VR. Especially if it's introduced and brought into gaming. While there are a lot of technological hurdles to get over, if the technology becomes more commonplace and accessible, it doesn't seem that absurd. If VR technology can be put on and used on smartphones, then combined with video games, like Halo, I could see the use being extreme by many.

Re: VR and OTT
@elizabethv could not agree more... I know some people get line of credit to get new PS4 with 3D helmets and controls... but I would not touch XBOX ONE or PS4 for the good next few years until I see it under $99 or less Can... but it just me... I prefer to wait to get what I want... on the other hand I still use my non smart Nokia phone... :) but it just me - living with what I could afford :)
ps: for new year - I did get Hyperkin NES RetroN 1 Gaming Console for $20 as I did not have to apply for line of credit :) lol  clrmoney

And not a moment too soon
Good thing virtual reality has arrived ... because actual reality is getting too damn depressing to deal with.

Hahaha. Are you concerned about a certain orange-faced future? (Not that there isn't something wrong with that..) VR might be a better escape than Canada...? |
