Re: Hires Head VR
I keep seeing that one ad where they use VR on a train - I get motion sickness just watching it!

Re: Hires Head VR
@ms.a I wouldn't have expected this move from Huawei. They must have something very interesting planned for VR. I wonder if they plan to develop both hardware and software. Will the hardware include a new phone? Looking forward to further reports.
Re: Hires Head VR
The next challenge for VR, however, is getting people to develop long-lasting uses for it.
Very true fact !
I am sure we all are very excited about how things are shaping up with VR. But the real deal is absolutely to develop how VR can be used.
Re: Huawei Hires Former Oculus Principal
Good point. I was exactly thinking the same. He is professor at university where he gets to participate in may research related activities and interaction with many folks of similar background. That would be an added advantage.
Re: Hires Head VR
@Michelle:
Looking at his background, vision and how he played at Oculus this move certainly sounds promising to Huaweit. We will stay tuned for furher VR updates from Huawei.

Re: Hires Head VR
@faryl There has been a lot of advertising this holiday season for the Samsung Gear. Basically, the ad is just showing what the initial experiences are for people who try VR.
It's a good marketing ploy. The next challenge for VR, however, is getting people to develop long-lasting uses for it.

Re: Huawei Hires Former Oculus Principal
Good move. VR and AR are going to be big business over the coming years. I think as we see a generational shift people will start adopting these technologies. I don't think older generations will be as interested, but younger people certainly will.

Huawei Hires Former Oculus Principal
I consider this a smart move on Huawei's part to hire Steve LaValle as its Chief Scientist of VR/AR/MR. Not only does he have the Oculus experience under his belt, but he's a professor at a university. Most colleges today stress research, which could be extremely useful in its application toward VR development at Huawei.
