HTC Vive is £746.60 and VW Beetle is £795. https://www.gumtree.com/p/volkswagen/volkswagen-beetle-2.0-3... lol


I think the Beetle gives a much more realistic 3D experience.

No seriously... About 10 years ago I was at a conference, and there was going to be a discussion about something. This conference was organized by the people behind a discussion website - the subject is not relevant. The website forum had moderators.

Now this girl who was leading the discussion was explaining to us that the discussion was just like an online discussion, except without keyboard and screen. She would act as moderator, just like online, and guide the whole thing.

I was amazed that she explained it like it was a complete new concept, to have a discussion in a theatre hall, with people present, talking to and interupting eachother.

Anyway, how long will it be that someone proposes to make a drive in a real beetle, just like one in VR?


It's actually kind of an interesting question: How many kids born today (or in the next 5 years?) will experience driving cars only in VR?


I am pretty sure HTC Vive will cost significantly less after 16 years and 90k miles :)
